You mean that the "set of libraries" consists of Forth source code
that has been blessed as "standard library" and that is already
included when you start a standard-complying Forth system. Somewhat
like the fig-Forth standard.
There have been some discussions about standard libraries, and it has
been unclear to me what the advantage over other libraries would be.
If they were already included on startup, an advantage would be that a
standard program can really use them, while currently it cannot even
use the standard floating-point wordset on some standard systems that
have such a wordset, because there is no standard way to tell the
system to please load the floating-point words now (actually, there is
one, through ENVIRONMENT?, but these systems don't implement
ENVIRONMENT? in this way).
Given that there is no consensus on how to include libraries, and many
systems probably don't want to include all the standard libraries
already on startup, I see little point in standardizing a library.
>Structures definitions, in my opinion, should belong to set of libraries.
For the most part, yes. However, in the standard we can only define
fields as children of a word like
: (field) create , does> @ + ;
or
: (field) >r : r> postpoine literal postpone + postpone ; ;
On many systems, this is better implemented using something like
;CODE, and that's not portable.
