Re: VALUE and TO implementation

Am I the only one that thinks parsing words are an incredible nuisance?

No.  They are one of the reasons for the STATE-smartness idiocy and
they don't work with ]]...[[.  In case of TO Gforth (development)
implements a to-recognizer:

5 value foo
7 ->foo
foo . \ 7
: bar ->foo ;
9 bar
foo . \ 9
: bla ]] ->foo [[ ; immediate
: blub bla ;
3 blub
foo . \ 3

The to-recognizer makes TO unnecessary (both parsing or non-parsing).
And instead of +TO FOO one writes +>FOO:

6 +>foo
foo . 9
