Re: Back & Forth - Co-routines

If I use locals I'm more likely to
use the ANS notation.  I notice Forth Inc does too - perhaps why they were so
adverse to conceding to { } .

The reason why Forth, Inc. argued against { } is that they support an
existing code base that uses { } for comments; they use { } comments
extensively in SwiftForth, and their customers use it, too.  They
voted for {: :}, so they obviously don't have a problem with the
ordering of locals in {: :} (which is the same as for { }).

Using WHERE LOCALS| in SwiftForth x64-Linux 4.0.0-RC89 only brings up
the definition of LOCALS|, but no uses.  "WHERE {:" brings up the
definition and 5 uses of "{:", all with more than one local; so they
obviously do not have a problem with the ordering of locals in {: :}.
Can you elaborate on what you have noticed?
