IDK, I've seen some unreadable Forth code that was written by experts.
Whether locals could have helped, I don't know.

Define 'unreadable'.  In general I don't need to understand the nitty
gritty of a routine.  But should I and no stack commentary exists, I've
no objections to creating it.  It's par for the course in Forth.  If it
bugged me I wouldn't be doing Forth.
