COUNT? For C@+? Anybody? ;-)

FigForth COUNT normally operates on a 'byte' counted string but
can also be used to fetch a character and bump address.
 

And in the context of role play:

here  1 c, 2 c, 3 c, 4 c,
dup { 4 0 do count . loop drop  }  \ WTF!!! Where's the counted string?
i. {} --> 1 2 3 4

    { 4 0 do c@++ . loop drop }  \ Obvious there ain't one here.
i. {} --> 1 2 3 4
