I agree, and in fact I have started on this path by writing a colorForth 
compiler in colorForth. The environment itself has not seen a signifigant 
evolution since its original release, and that is disapointing. I 
attribute this to the majority of source code defining colorForth being 
in the kernel, in x86 assembler, rather anything to do the source format 
of colorForth.
