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

 I haven't followed this whole thing and didn't realize a sane
non-parsing TO was even possible.  I've sometimes thought of a version
of VALUE that makes two separate words, for reading and writing the
value:
 17 XVALUE foo
 creates two words, "?foo" and "!foo".  ?foo pushes the value from foo
(initially 17) onto the stack.  !foo moves TOS to foo.

I use this approach, but with "foo" instead of "?foo".
A standard-compliant implementation:
