Not sure what you are referring to, but I suggested EXECUTE-PARSING at
a meeting a number of years ago. Stephen Pelc claimed that this is
not general enough and that one would also introduce
EXECUTE-PARSING-FILE, EXECUTE-PARSING-BLOCK, EXECUTE-PARSING-FLASH and
millions of other words if we introduced EXECUTE-PARSING. In actual
usage, Gforth has EXECUTE-PARSING-FILE, but I have never used it. It
does not have EXECUTE-PARSING-BLOCK nor EXECUTE-PARSING-FLASH, and I
have not missed them at all.
But I do use EXECUTE-PARSING regularly. Everytime some idiot writes a
parsing word, EXECUTE-PARSING is to the rescue. In the meantime I
have come to the conclusion that it's actually not so dumb to write
parsing words, but one of the ways to reduce the stack load in Forth;
but it needs to be combined with a way to get back to a general
stack-based interface, and that way is EXECUTE-PARSING.
Anyway, back to the discussion at the standards meeting. There was a
suggestion from Stephen Pelc that we should generalize the text
interpreter such that we could arbitrarily plug together various input
stream sources, and various ways to process the input stream, as a
very generalized variant of the EXECUTE-PARSING idea. I worked out a
sketch of how that might look (I can dig it out if there is interest).
My own feelings about this were mixed, and the reaction of the
participants was negative or neutral (anyway, not supportive), so I
did not pursue it further. But I also did not pursue EXECUTE-PARSING
in the committee further.
Looking back, the general solution may inspire some new style or
something, but is certainly not something that comes out of existing
practice, and it might just end up as overgeneralization. In
contrast, EXECUTE-PARSING has quite a bit of existing practice (of
course not if you define "existing practice" as "what MPE and (to the
knowledge of Stephen Pelc) its customers do") and is just the right
level of generality. Maybe someone should make an RfD on that.
