Asking for an explanation is becoming a bit tedious too. All you've done
here is explain how any XT -- quotation, :NONAME, or tick of a named word
-- can be used in one specific kind of higher order function.

Please provide a definition of quotations (or an RfD; I don't mind either
way) so the rest of us human mortals can work out why our implementations
are fakes, and how we might rectify that.

Alex McDonald is a liar --- he is purposely ignoring the fact that my quotations have access to the parent functions local variables (the CNT local in this example) when they are executed inside of the higher-order function.

This is the same lie that he was telling in this thread:

Alex just tells the same lie over and over again, in the hope that somebody will eventually believe it. If he gets caught lying (he always does), he just waits a few days and then tells the same lie again.

The reason why he does this is that he knows that so long as he is supporting Forth-200x, the Forth-200x committee will support him.

My FMITE is not compatible with ANS-Forth or Forth-200x, hence it is not a suitable topic for a Forth-200x RfD. It is absurd that you suggest that I care about Forth-200x and want to participate in Forth-200x --- you are out of touche with reality.

When I was interested in Forth-200x, I was told that any RfD has to be put on comp.lang.forth to get feedback from the "Forth community." In practice, what this meant was John Passaniti telling a lot of lies about it, and twisting the words, and flaming me with vulgar insults until I eventually gave up. Now you have taken Passaniti's place as the Forth-200x attack-poodle. Those RfDs are a waste of time --- they just result in me getting attacked by faggots --- ultimately, Leon Wagner will decide what gets put in Forth-200x, and the "Forth community" be damned.

I still think that Passaniti was getting paid by Elizabeth Rather. After Jeff Fox died, Passaniti stopped showing up on comp.lang.forth. Obviously, he never had any interest in Forth (he never wrote any Forth code or showed any knowledge of Forth) --- his only interest was in insulting Jeff Fox, and after Jeff Fox died he had no further interest in comp.lang.forth. Why would Passaniti particularly care about Jeff Fox though? If he just enjoyed insulting people, he would have continued insulting myself or various other people after Jeff Fox died. The explanation seems to be that it was Elizabeth Rather who cared about having Jeff Fox insulted, and that Passaniti only cared about getting paid --- after Jeff Fox died, Elizabeth Rather stopped paying Passaniti, and so he stopped showing up.

Now we have Alex McDonald replacing John Passaniti and claiming that he "does standards for a living" --- Jeff Fox is dead, so Alex focuses on lying about me --- comp.lang.forth corruption just goes on and on forever...

P.S. for Elizabeth Rather: I used the word "faggot" above, so this is your cue to denounce me for being homophobic (again).

To make up for my terse rudeness, here's something a bit longer.

The Emperor's New Quotations
============================

A Play in 3 Acts

Cast: 

Hugh: the self proclaimed Emperor. Having once lived in the city of
UR-Forth, he is cast out by the evil Testra to drive the plains of nearby
Forth Colons. Has access to the internet, which he invented.

Crowd: a loose body of folks led by a monocled mad German scientist, an
Englishman who knows that the answer to the question "FUNEX?" is "S,VFX",
a Queen who witnessed the birth of Forth, and a number of other queens.
Other members include the entire Dutch nation, a couple of barking mad
'Murricans, a pitchfork wielding Scotsman and a few hundred lurkers.

WJ: Completely unhinged scribbler of Lisp poetry. Wonderfully gauche when
not scheming.

Rod: Lover of C, a venerable lady of great age quite past her prime.

Gavino: Forth master, known for his Zen-like questions. Only appears
during the interval.

Act 1
=====

Hugh: "Look! My quotations are the dog's doughnuts! Fall and worship at
my technical genius, you fakers and ANS Forth cultists! See how my FMITE
and novice package (everything invented by me, pats pending, copyrights
on lists etc) make all others look like amateurs!"

Crowd: "Hmm. Hw do quotations work Hugh? Can you explain?"

Hugh: "Yes! You are sodomite loving liars!"

Crowd: "Pardon?"

Hugh: "Jeff Fox!"

Crowd: "Eh?"

Hugh: "Elizabeth Rather pays for Leon Wagner to dominate Anton Ertl and
tell him what to do!"

Crowd: "We though this was about quotations..."

Rod: "Hugh, this is much easier in C."

Hugh: "Faggots!"

Crowd: "Hugh, your scheme for quotations in FMITE is a bag of nuts and
bolts that just won't work."

Hugh: "Mummy! Help, these big people are being nasty!" (exeunt stage left
pursued by crowd)

Act 2
=====

Hugh: "Look! I can iterate over lists with quotations! The temples of ANS
Forth shall crumble, and it's practitioners be cast destitute on the
streets!"

Crowd: "Have you tried an RfD?"

Hugh: "I can't! Leon Wagner, see Act 1 etc!"

WJ: I broke your 
lines for you.  
Anyone who knows 
anything whatsoever
about usenet knows that he must 
limit the length of his lines.

Let me demonstrate
your abysmal ignorance
thru the medium of Lisp poetry.

((It's pointless to listen)
(to Forth-worshippers) ((who are))
(((comfortable only) with stone-age) tools) 

Crowd: (silence)

Act 3
=====

To be continued.

Hugh Aquilar.

What?  You forgot the can't get a job programming, driving a taxi cab
for a living, his brother is a math god, etc.

> Crowd: a loose body of folks led by a monocled mad German scientist,

Bernd Paysan.

You forgot to add insane, arrogant, wrong-headed, random political
diatrabes, pro-Nazi beliefs, racist, anti-US hatred, anti-French bigotry,
supporter of Chinese communism, married a Chinese government spy, etc ...

So,  _YOU_  get to criticize Hugh for being homphobic, while calling
others here homosexuals as an insult?  WOW! WTF? ...

> Other members include the entire Dutch nation,

I'm not sure who is Dutch and isn't, but I take it you mean
these people:

Coos Haak.
Albert van der Horst.
Hans Bezemer.
Lars Brinkhoff.
...

> a couple of barking mad 'Murricans,

"Americans."

You listed me separately.  So, I guess I'm not a barking mad American.
Note that you listed Hugh separately too ...  If Hugh's not the key part
of the "barking mad 'Murrican" crowd and I'm not, who is? ...

I have to take issue with that though.  The people here who *seem* to
be Americans to me based on verbiage also *seem* very sane except Hugh
or rickman.  E.g., these people seem sane and seem to be American:
Mark Wills, Paul Rubin, Andrew Haley, JennyB, Ron Aaron, Julian Fondren,
Jason Damisch, Josh Grams, Richard Owlett, etc ...  So, are you calling
them barking mad or just Hugh and rickman?  I think the remainder of
the "barking mad 'Murricans" you refer to are actually Brits or U.K
residents ...

s/"a couple of barking mad 'Murricans"/"a bunch of drunk nutjob in the UK"/

> a pitchfork wielding Scotsman

I don't know who that is.  Is that supposed to be you?

Hey, if you want to spend your time standing in the middle of a field
at night with a pitchfork while it's pouring rain holding a lantern,
like a creepy character in a horror movie, that's your business.

> and a few hundred lurkers.

Who cares?

> WJ: Completely unhinged scribbler of Lisp poetry.
> Wonderfully gauche when not scheming.

Well, he codes like John Passaniti, but it's Alex Wegel
who is emotionally messed up over past Passaniti issues.
It's likely JP is posting under multiple aliases ...
That would fit his psychopath personality type.

> Rod: Lover of C, a venerable lady of great age quite past her prime.

What?  You mention me in regards to C, but not Paul Rubin?
Even Anton Ertl has to use C for gForth.  Are you going to
bitch at Anton over that decision? ...

> Gavino: Forth master, known for his Zen-like questions.

I take it "Forth Master" was deep tongue-in-cheek.  You could've
said Mentifex where it might've been at least half true, but he
has no Zen-like questions.


Well, you clearly forgot some of the recurring characters.
I keep pointing out your memory issues, but you fail to listen.

Anton Ertl, Alex McDonald (you, unless you decided that you're
the wierd and creepy Scotsman...), rickman, Mentifex, and
apparently the entire Russian nation.  Sort your replies
some time.  It's not just a Dutch nation thing.  Of course,
I see why you didn't mention rickman since he only discuesses
microprocessors and is otherwise ignored.

But, most importantly, how could you forget Anton Ertl?
Shouldn't he have been "King" to Ms. Rather's "Queen"?
And, were you conflating Dutch with Austrian?  Seems so ...

So, I think you need to rework your post for some *exceptionally*
long rudeness this time.

Satirical caricature. It plainly didn't work for you, and probably didn't
for others too. That's OK.

And, for the record, Mr. Pemberton, I'm English.

American. Pfft.

You missed the point that Alex was using "Dutch" surnames
to declare people to be Dutch.  My surname is English, but
I'm American.  Ditto for all my great grand parents.  That's
why I emphasized *seems* twice.  It's difficult to tell
 from a surname.  One shouldn't assume, as Alex did.

Well, your verbiage isn't like most of those in the U.K.
You don't use British or Scottish spellings, euphemisms, or
slang, e.g., unlike Alex, Stephen, etc.

For me, what marks American out from English is not the (to us) archaic
gottens and prudish roosters, but the verbisations; that is, making nouns
serve as verbs. It happens in English ("He trousered/pocketed the money"
for stole), but it is rampant in the US.

My favourite: "... get a bat or a golf club personally signatured...". 

Signatured. Instead of signed. Gaaaah. (Another American habit; what's
with the "personally"? Is it in stark contrast to the the presumably
inferior impersonal signature?)

Calvin: I like to verb words.
Hobbes: What?
Calvin: I take nouns and adjectives and use them as verbs. Remember when
"access" was a thing? Now it's something you do. It got verbed... Verbing
weirds language. Hobbes: Maybe we can eventually make language a complete
impediment to understanding.

Ah, so you got the joke, then spoiled it by explaining it.

Act 3
=====

[Narrator, unseen but sounds suspiciously like Anton Ertl]

They didn't all live happily ever after. Annoyingly, the universe gave up
trying to expand any more due to a hole in the fabric of space caused by
the Large Hadron Collider running amok after an undeteced overflow in a
huge multi terabyte C program and just quit. Hugh and the crowd and
everyone in it, including the Forth 201x committee -- even
comp.lang.forth -- simply ripped apart and were gone. Poof. Gone.

But that was just a beginning, for right at the end the universe shouted
"FFS THE ANSWER IS 42. AND I QUIT". And QUIT was the word, and the word
was Forth, and Forth pondered itself, and after a timeless period of
introspection and metacompiling;

only forth 
also definitions
quit               

And lo, Forth bootstrapped a shiny new universe. ok>

But after a while, it wasn't so shiny any more. Hugh was born, grew up,
and invented the internet.

Hugh: "Look! My quotations are the dog's doughnuts! Fall and worship at
my technical genius, you fakers and ANS Forth cultists! See how my FMITE
and novice package (everything invented by me, pats pending, copyrights
on lists etc) make all others look like amateurs!"

Crowd: (all run screaming) "Deja vu! It's happening all over again!"

Hugh: "Sodomy! Faggots! SwiftForth is broken! ANS Forth must die!" 

Rod: "Seriously Hugh, C is so much better."

[Curtain falls] 

THE END

Having met them, at least three of these are not American and I
strongly suspect that another is not.

Stephen Pelc is a member of the Forth-200x committee. What I said earlier in regard to the Forth-200x committee was this (replace "Alex McDonald" with "Rod Pemberton" in the following):

I think that the Forth-200x committee believe that trolls like Alex are useful so long as they attack people such as Raimond and myself and don't attack ANS-Forth and/or Forth-200x. They believe that they can stand aloof and dodge blame for all of this nastiness because they aren't posting the nastiness themselves, and have effectively kept their hands clean by using a proxy --- they aren't fooling anybody! --- everybody knows that Alex McDonald and John Passaniti are tools of the Forth-200x committee, and that the Forth-200x committee is the engine of corruption on comp.lang.forth.

Yes. I understand that. What I don't understand is what is fake about my implementation. Perhaps you were being tongue-in-cheek. It seems a valid implementation to me.
