ACtually, colorforth has a dictionary for compiled words and a
dictionary for macros. In ANSI forths, you have non-immediate words,
and immediate words. So it works approximately the same.

There are differences though. For example, in colorforth you can have
two words that are called the same but one is a macro, and the
functionality differs depending on the context (color). That way, you
eliminate the need for state smart words.

Also, its alot simpler to implement.
