If you have a conflict, you rename the new offending definition,
as you do now. If you redefine a word, it is intentional, and
you can ignore the message.
ciforth can use 10,000 character names, even store it in ALLOCATEd space.

The essential point of ciforth is that there is one handle (dictionary
entry address) to characterize a word/definition/procedure/data-object.
Use that for everything to pass around.
No words with "no name", only data structures where the name is left a
zero pointer.

Not that the model can be valid even if you use 4 character names.
Jeez!
