you can test words like `rename-file` interactively, see "A.17.3.4 Other
transient regions" in Forth-2012.

 I hate those two. Requiring an arbitrary number of buffers for s"
(like 2). 'A' requires a special provision in number handling.
I don't like overloading ' .

You say this from the point of view of a system implementer. I don't see any objections on the merits.
Those two make use of Forth simpler in programs. Do you have any counter arguments?
