That's not really in the spirit of Forth.  You would have to scan all
earlier lines to find a specified line.

It will have the same 64 bytes.  It will display shorter, yes.

May be a good idea, but is relatively far from the original blocks
idea.

Just thoughts from somebody who has not used a block editor in over 20
