A STATE-smart word also has identical compilation and interpretation
semantics.  These semantics just check STATE at run-time and do
different things depending on STATE at that time.

I think it's pretty good.  But maybe it's not good enough.

What language would you use instead?

I see that you are coming around to the more common way of using
"STATE-smart".  Good.

Yes, they intended to allow STATE-smart implementations.  Could be
fixed by de-standardizing ' S", POSTPONE S" etc.
