I find myself wishing for something more like a lightweight module symbol to make temporary named functions, rather than getting rid of the names completely. Something inspired by old-fashioned 16-line screens: PARAGRAPH( foo bar ) \ only foo and bar are visible from this paragraph : tempthing blah blah ; : another-temp blah blah blah ; : foo ( n -- n n ) tempthing xyz another-temp ; : whatsit xyz foo ; : bar ( n -- ) whatsit 3 foo tempthing blah blah ; /PARAGRAPH The /PARAGRAPH forgets all symbols defined in the paragraph, except the ones named for export at the top of the paragraph. /PARAGRAPH could be combined with starting a new paragraph: +PARAGRAPH( quux baz ) \ equivalent to /PARAGRAPH PARAGRAPH( ... ) : quux ... ; : baz ... ; /PARAGRAPH Does that look tempting?
