Even simpler:

: InheritsLoop 100 0 DO I . LOOP ;
: FRED InheritsLoop ;

Yes, if an ordinary definition works, use an ordinary definition.  It
has fewer restrictions than a macro.  But there are cases where an
ordinary colon definition does not work, e.g.:

: repeat postpone again postpone then ; immediate

and there it gets a little more readable if you write

: repeat ]] again then [[ ; immediate
