I don't know about switching, but I did get that IBM and Apple have
used Gforth in their Open Firmware work, and they were Forth,
Inc. customers (they took courses at Forth, Inc.).
Anyway, this misfeature is not a secret known only to Forth,
Inc. customers, on the contrary, it is touted here (and presumably
elsewhere) quite regularly. Apparently that was not convincing enough
to incite even one Gforth user to ask for it.
