Given that a Forth system supports quotations and xt-locals,
nested definitions are easy to implement. BTW xt-locals exist
f.ex. in gforth. They hold xt's and when called execute the xt
instead of pushing it to the stack as normal locals would do.

Right. I've shown that it is easy, that is nothing new.
What also isn't new that gforth insists on introducing another
special syntax, words and idioms that are unnecessary.
With my enhanced [ ] pair, you can introduce whatever local
widgets, in particular objects, you choose.

The goal of language design is not to overload with features,
but attain expressiveness with the least amount of concepts.
