I'd say in any case that it's not too difficult, but one line seems
overoptimistic.  Particularly, you need something like (LOCAL) in the
VM.  The rest is just some extensions to the colon compiler.  Your
mention of it taking 3-4 screens sounded within reason to me, and I
don't consider that to be a lot of code.

Not one line, but short leaning on existing words.
Also these LOCAL's are not usable in recursed definition.
Example in the context of ciforth.

WANT VALUE [{
: LOCAL
    POSTPONE [{ _ VALUE }] POSTPONE TO LATEST >LFA @
    POSTPONE LITERAL POSTPONE EXECUTE
; IMMEDIATE
