Before we get all formal...

There's a general consensus on[: and ;] as the unnamed equivalent of
:noname ; . I'd prefer [' and '] as the inline unnamed equivalent of [']
<name>.

These tokens also more clearly not {: and :}.

: bar {: a b :} [: a b + ;] foo ;
: flop {: c :} [: c ;] flip ;

: bar {: a b :} [' a b + '] foo ;
: flop {: c :} [' c '] flip ;

And quotations use a quote too.
