Re: [colorforth] Low res or low color ColorForth

Regarding Howerd's comment about "name-space pollution":

It is an historical accident that the editor is built into the kernel. The
colorForth colorForth will have it as a seperate application. Ie., typing
123 edit  will compile the editor, overlaying the current application. Thus
any nice words it defines will be distinct from any in applications.

This has no time penalty, since compile is instantaneous. And presumably
you're editing the application (or some application) prior to re-compiling
it. So overlaying the application has no penalty.

Possibly, simply listing code or other text might remain in the kernel,
since that might be part of an application (browser).
