Just in case there's any confusion, the article is not by me, but rather
by Marcus Gabriel, as explained here:

http://www.umich.edu/~williams/archive/forth/strings/fstrings/readme.txt

My own dynamic-strings package,

http://www.umich.edu/~williams/archive/forth/strings/dstrings.html

with string stack and garbage collection, was apparently too elaborate
to have been taken up by Forthists, although I am fairly proud of it.

My more conventional ANS Forth string library

http://www.umich.edu/~williams/archive/forth/strings/mstrings.html

works with the data stack and buffers allocated by the user.  It is lean,
to me at least.
