Re: Parsing timestamps?

So, I made me a small extension to the locals word set. Using your
example SPIN (abc — cba), I can define it as follows:
: SPIN { a b c == c b a } ; \ no need for additional code before ;

What is the advantage of using this extension over the Forth-2012:

: spin {: a b c :} c b a ;

?

or likewise for floats, doubles, strings, matrices
: FSPIN { f: a b c == c b a } ;

Lack of support for other types other than cells is indeed a
shortcoming of standard locals.  In Gforth you could write that as

: fspin {: f: a f: b f: c :} c b a ;
