PROPOSED ANS FORTH EXTENSIONS

---

This is a collection of proposed extensions to Forth, provided here for public review and comment. It is hoped that people will implement these extensions, thus providing a consensuses for the next standard review, currently scheduled to take place in 2004. Although this is not quite the system described/suggested in the paper "ANS Forth: Standardising a Moving Language" it is intended to server a similar purpose.
