There is no need to "seek to exclude implementations from using WORD"
when implementing S". WORD is so limited that it excludes itself, at
least from sensible and correct implementations. E.g.,
S" " . DROP
is a standard program and should print 0. A straightforward
implementation of S" based on WORD will not work correctly for that
program. There is a reason why we have PARSE. And just because a
word is old does not mean it is more generally useful than a young
word. TIB is also old and is now obsolete.
