Not necessarily. What systems had 'multiple WHILE' before ANS introduced
it? Brodie mentions it in 'Thinking FORTH' (1984) but without details or
endorsement by a Standard who would risk it? I don't know what was in
Forth-78 but Forth-77 only offered ;: and ;CODE as definer words.
I can imagine FST-79 tossing up the available options - the latest of
which was CREATE DOES> from Forth Inc.
