My toy "lbForth" is based on 16 primitives, in less than 200 lines of
CODE words.  The 360-line kernel is defined in terms of those
primitives, and only contains a bare minimum needed to load and
compile the rest of the system.

I'm not sure this is a good way to understand how a system can be
built.  But it certainly is a small amount of code to read.

(Yes, I'm another bit-twiddling monkey.  Didn't make me a good Forth
programmer.)
