The enhanced comment is more robust than the existing string operators
that you show in that any mix of printable characters can be contained
in the comment and string operators that base on it. No breaking up
text nor escaping characters needed (by the Forth):
 
.( The function("bar") char ) emit .(  is to be used) \ standard, bah
.( The function("bar") is to be used)                 \ enhanced, ok

 @( echo -e "Hello World\!") /sys                     \ enhanced, ok

As " solutions go it has a charm to it.  The code is nicely trivial
albeit not idiot-proof ... ( ) needs to be balanced.

For me the other issue was non-graphic characters.  Unable to avoid it
I adopted a simplified form of 200x escapes whereby " becomes \22 .
