Yeah, I have helped to make a proposal for PLACE and +PLACE - which never even made it to the voting stage.

 It's a nice symmetry.  OTOH the remaining vendors use APPEND and why should they change?
 

Yes, it has symmetry with ! and +!, TO and +TO - that's why I like it (plus APPEND is already taken in 4tH for signalling file append mode ;-)
Why should they change it? Well, it has just become *THE STANDARD.*
Poor man's solution : +PLACE APPEND ;
Hans' solution:       AKA APPEND +PLACE
ANS 2012 solution:    SYNONYM +PLACE APPEND
