I assumed that was his intent, yes.  Otherwise, the design is
somewhat ... backwards, don't you think?  What if you want to
use a normal word like SWAP or DUP as part of the op-sequence?
Isn't he is checking for a return code from an EXECUTEd word?
So, how do you do that?  Are you going to do the following

: DUP DUP TRUE ;
