A very convenient collection for somebody wanting to check
compatibility of, or benchmark, Forth code.
I see its use rather limited - and a whole thing
rather as a kind of novelty - because IMHO compatibility
of Forth code isn't as important as its efficiency.
If the code can be made more efficient by any
non-standard approach, then 'goodbye compatibility',
and the user of some other Forth system if free
to modify the code on his own. Why I see this such
way? Because Forth can be seen as kind of 'opposite
pole' to languages 'carved in stone', just like C
and its derivatives.
But of course if for anyone - for any reasons
I don't know - that compatibility is important,
such docker may be useful for that someone.
