When a word list is created with `vocabulary`, it is associated with a name, and `order` displays this name in its output.
When a word list is created by `wordlist`, it is not associated with a name. Therefore, `order` typically displays a number for that word list, which is less informative.
A Forth system might try to find a constant whose value is identical to the wid of such word list and display the name of the constant. Do you know if this approach is used anywhere?
Some Forth systems technically can associate a name with a word list after the word list is created with `wordlist`. And some even provide an API for doing so.
Do you know of any Forth systems that technically *cannot* associate a name with a word list created with `wordlist` (due to internal details)?
