VFX has had the brace notation since well before Forth-94. LOCALS| was
added later for compatibility.

What a waste of effort. Yours was the first request that included a
usage case. However, since you just ranted, it had to wait until I got
back from holiday and EuroForth. We have now done some testing on the 
fix, compiled and tested the big app with 1.1 million lines of source
code, and rebuilt two cross compilers and four versions of VFX.

Note that our cross compilers have been running for 30+ years and
don't need your particular tricks.

v4.71 of VFX Forth for Windows, Mac OS X, ARM Linux and Intel Linux
are now available.
