In a hosted system, the alignment restrictions for headers make it 
difficult to save any space with CVARIABLE.  Neither Gforth nor VFX has 
CVARIABLE, and I'm surprised that SwiftForth hasn't, either.

Only on embedded systems with headers in ROM (or on the development 
system) and the variable space in the precious tiny RAM you really 
benefit from CVARIABLE.
