Forth can be used nicely as a scripting language.  The implementation
needs some properties, though, that most Forth systems don't satisfy,
however.  The one that comes to my mind at the moment is: When used as
a scripting language, you must never fall back to interactive input
unless the program tells you to.  In particular, when there is an
error that is not caught by the program, you have to terminate the
process.
