For about a quarter of a century, going back to a time prior to the existence of ANS-Forth, all the Forthers have used { to define local variables (the John Hopkins Format). There is a lot of legacy code that uses { for local variables. At Forth Inc. however, { is used for multi-line comments. Because of this, Forth-200x couldn't use { for defining locals and had to invent a new name {: instead. The breaks pretty much all of the Forth code that uses local, including ANS-Forth code, written in the last quarter of a century --- except for the SwiftForth code that continues to use { to define multi-line comments --- in SwiftForth version-2, (LOCAL) would crash the system when used; the fact that this bug got put in a production release indicates that nobody at Forth Inc. ever tested (LOCAL) at all, which indicates that there is no Forth Inc. legacy code that uses locals.

One of those well-known secret fables?
