Ahem... somebody noticed? I forgot the add in the end ;-)
Last line should read:
   dup, 1 , -, fib, swap, 2 , -, fib, +, ;

Today i simplified the metacompiled stuff i have, dropping the
immediate flag, and i'll definitely go into this direction now.
Yeah you're right, color is easier to read,
(except for the color-blind on this list. but i think even
them can distinguish red from grey. I think mostly they're just
not able to distinguish between green and grey.)
but the "," is the best i can come up with
using standard symbols... i hope i'll find a way to switch
between the ","-stuff and color display...

By the way, and completely on topic: Color Photography!
Check out some 100 year old color photographs by a russian
who invented a RGB filtering system back then and travelled
the czaristic russian empire before the october revolution:

Amazing quality, and it will shutter your perception of the
past!
