I took a look.
A number of uses of ['] are in combination with IS. Given that the
deferred word obviously merits a proper name, naming the xt is pretty
natural.
In some cases quotations might have resulted in better factoring.

Can you name a "sane language"?

Simple: Use 'A', unless you want portability to older systems.

Simple: Use {:. If you want portability to older systems, use {:,
<http://www.forth200x.org/reference-implementations/locals.fs>,
<http://www.forth200x.org/reference-implementations/parse-name.fs>.
Never ever use LOCALS|.
>Shall I factor or use quotations ?
Shall you factor a sequence of code into a named colon definition or
keep it inline? That's a chice you have to make in Forth with or
without quotations. And you have to make the same choice in every
other programming language. I am really interested in which "sane
language" absolves you of that choice.
