Yes.  The alternative to

postpone 42

is 

42 postpone literal

which is longer, less readable, and requires the programmer to know
LITERAL and its use in this idiom.  If a system has ]] ... [[
("postpone state"), the difference is even bigger.  E.g., instead of

]] dup 42 = [[

one has to write

]] dup [[ 42 ]] literal = [[

Whatever you mean with that, why should we care?  Forth is also one of
the few languages that has no keywords; has worked nicely for 45
years.
