Add
  5) Light weight startup or turnkey.

ciforth does a good job on all accounts.

"HOME" GET-ENV TYPE
/home/albert OK
It doesn't get any better.

PREFIX allows for "non-standard parsing" while doing
ordinary interpreting. PREFIX is non-standard, but it is
the only non-standard word you need.

Use of loops and conditionals during interpret mode by
compilation to a temp area, transparently.

$@ $! $/ $C+ $+!
Simplistic and easy to use.

30 K executable at most. A turnkey is a 30+X K executable,
if you can't stand the cost of loading GET-ENV from a
library.

Don't go overboard in the string handling. Next time you wake up
it is Xmas 2025.

I seriously doubt that decision. Using adr,len pair is a
natural for Forth internals. GET-ENV produces an adr,len
pair and I never looked back.
(You can steal you GET-ENV from ciforth library, it is really
pretty trivial.)
