Why is 0 a valid argument to SET-ORDER (from the optional Search-Order

Does it matter?
If the user accidentially puts the Forth system in a non-recoverable
state, there is no difference between "by design" (e.g., 0 SET-ORDER)
and "by doing non-standard things".
If the user intentionally puts the Forth system in a non-recoverable
state (e.g.,

it does not matter, either.
