Of course it's not needed-- it just allows a little more factoring,
which can be nice depending on your tastes.

That is nice.  Note that there was a big discussion a few months ago
about whether the Forth 200x standard's quotations should allow
accessing the parent's locals like that, and I think the result was that
it was considered to potentially complicate implementations too much to
be worthwhile.  If you've got a simple implementation you might want to
comment.
