I can't really understand that without studying deep-down parts of Forth
compilation that I haven't had to use so far.  One thing I'd wonder is
whether you can have a mutable cell in the closure.  E.g. a classic
Scheme closure is:

   (define (counter)
     (let ((n 0))
       (lambda ()
          (set! n (1+ n))
          n)))

This creates a variable n, then a function (the lambda) which, when you
call it, increments n and returns the new value, something like an
OOP method incrementing and returning an instance variable

    guile> (define a (counter))
    guile> (define b (counter))

That made two counters each with its own n.  Now you can call them
independently of each other:

    guile> (a)
    1
    guile> (a)
    2
    guile> (a)
    3
    guile> (b)
    1
    guile> (b)
    2
    guile> (a)
    4
