I have my doubts.  Also, keeping big, variable-sized data structures
on the data stack is not idiomatic for Forth, but don't let that stop
you.

As for "dynamic programming", I know it as an optimization technique
for, essentially, generalizations of the shortest-path problem
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming>.  What did you
mean with that in your posting?
