These words, as I already wrote, were just examples to illustrate the

to do sorting kind of work.
I created also ROR/ROL words, that have nothing to do with any
sorting processes:
I mean, that's the whole thing with Forth - you *can* define any words
you like, based on your needs, extending the basic set of operations
into a whole domain-specific language suited to the problem you're
trying to solve. But that's not in itself a strong argument for adding
XYZ to the "standard" dictionary.*

without a muffled snort into one's sleeve.)
