Not sure what you mean with "limited version of CREATE" here.
fig-Forth's CREATE starts a primitive, and is used as factor for other
defining words (which change the code field).

What this actually says is that <BUILDS allots one cell more than
CREATE, just like CONSTANT. So instead of writing the longer
: <BUILDS CREATE 0 , ;
they wrote the shorter
: <BUILDS 0 CONSTANT ;
DOES> changes the code field, so it does not matter whether CONSTANT
or VARIABLE is used for defining <BUILDS; the difference between these
words is in the code field they create, and that is going to be
overwritten anyway.
