This seems way beyond the simplicity of traditional Forth implementation
methods and not likely to fly.  I'm also not sure whether the quotation
should be able to modify the parent locals (I guess Pascal allows that)
or should shadow them like in C++.  Overall though, I think people who
want to program in Lisp probably should do so directly ;-).
