The Forth way seems to be to speculate that full duplex is not needed.
I'd rather write something that works all the time, than write something
that only works if a speculative presumption happens to come true.

I wrote an application fairly recently that talked to a dozen or so
devices.  I can't remember for sure how many were "really" full duplex
since I didn't care.  I merely wrote a straightforward wrapper that
launched a pair of threads for each device and it handled everything
fine.  It was almost the first thing I wrote in the program, before I
studied much what the individual devices were doing.  That set down the
API that the later code would use.

Why would I worry my beautiful mind trying to analyze whether
bidirectional i/o would happen sometime later in the program
development?  That would be premature optimization.
