oh my ... how bad can it get? ;->
: create '" parse creates ;
does not look that bad, only grammatically upside-down.
I would expect the new word *after* creates even more than
with create, the latter being ambiguous whether it's being
used in a sentence or as imperative.
: create '" parse new-word ;
is much too free of convenient connotations to be really useful.
: create '" parse (create) ;
however, makes it clear that (create) is the internal part
of create handling the dictionary details, and that its's
expecting a string (a n) on the stack.
Your turn, fellows.
