The problem I have with ENTER is that it could be used equally well in
other areas: think contexts for example:
enter contextname
...
leave
So ENTER doesn't really describe what it does very well. ENTER-WORD
would work, but that's not too different than CREATE-WORD. Lots of
options here... (For what it's worth, I'm beginning to like
"create-word" as a name for this function. Still plenty of time to
discuss it though, 7.5.0 won't be released until November 1)
