The only thing that still mystifies me is why a seemingly basic word
like u/ wasn't added until so recently.
The standard has UM/MOD (and that has been in Gforth from the start)
if / does not satisfy your needs.
Actually IIRC we did not add U/ because of user demand, but mainly
because of implementation (speed of U/ vs UM/MOD on various CPUs) and
completeness considerations.
