The other way would be to write STR= and STR<, just like there is D=
and D< (and likewise, there is no F> F<= F>=, U<=, U>=, and U> is Core
Ext). Forthers know how to use this kind of comparison.
Sure, if we had generic COMP UCOMP DCOMP FCOMP words with a
COMPARE-like interfaces, we could combine them with 0= 0< 0> and save
some words compared to the traditional Forth approach (and some might
argue that the resulting inefficiency can be optimized away by modern
Forth compilers, like they did in discussions about sub-cell access).
But given that Forth-94 did not go that way for cell, double-cell, and
FP comparisons, it should not have gone that way for string
comparison, either.
