To 1:
If you see Forth as a language which is based upon (not only of course) functional concatenation instead of functionality application, the notation get interchangeable between post and infix notations as long as latter is free of side-rules. It is often forgotten that in addition to UPN there exist also appropriate infix notations. The difference between both should be theoretical negligible in relation to possible implementation details so the simple procedure of Forth specific "parsing" is one part which should get comparable (more or less).

That's one example.
