It would be a true variable and it would need a CFA routine, like DOCON or
DOVAR etc, e.g., say DOSTR or somesuch ...  That functionality is not
present in Forth, i.e., missing functionality.  Current functionality is
close for string constants, but does not use a CFA routine.   A true string
variable would only be a string variable, like words created by CONSTANT or
VARIABLE.  Currently, string constants in Forth can be compiled into any
word.  So, there would probably be a word, say STRING, to create a string
variable that would store DOSTR in the CFA field.  A word created with
STRING could only hold a string, just like a word created by CONSTANT or
VARIABLE can only hold integer constants and variables.
