My impression is that in most cases we don't need to use several
wordlists; we can just choose lots of non-conflicting names (the
hyphen-haters hate that).
OTOH, when you need several wordlists, the search order stack is a
good concept; however, I prefer dealing with Wids and using >ORDER to
having named vocabularies and ALSO. The fig-Forth approach was
definitely lacking.

The search order word set is not a required word set.
