For systems that use a circular buffer to store temporary strings
the size is typically 1 or 2 Kb.  That's reflected in the rather
vague spec for S" .  AFAICS the 2012 decision was more about
implementing common practice than needing common practice.  IMO
Forth-94 got the balance right for both S" and floating point stack.
