I don't understand the advantage over
  : .cons ( this -- ) ." (" dup car @ . cdr @ 0 .r ." ) " ;
It also looks to me like that prints the car as an integer, while I'd normally
expect a print function to dispatch on a type tag in the object.

If they get along without and nobody is missing it, then why is it

past me.
