CREATE and : (colon) use (CREATE) .  fig-Forth uses CREATE directly in :
(colon) .  For some reason, mine uses (CREATE) and either ENTER compiled for
: (colon) or DOVAR compiled for CREATE ...  It may be because of the
definitions I chose to use for VARIABLE and CONSTANT .  I've been meaning to
look into why exactly and also figure out why fig-Forth is different here.
It's like (CREATE) really should be CREATE ...

CONSTANT VARIABLE VALUE 2CONSTANT 2VARIABLE SET use CREATE
directly.  DEFER will too, if I decide it's definition is useful.

:-)

As Albert van der Horst pointed out, we could've used SMUDGE.  Sigh ...
I guess I'll have to keep it in mind to find out which is trivially quicker.
