In iForth you can have CREATE .. FORGET> .. DOES> .. , where FORGET>
is your (optional) ".die method". It is triggered by FORGET being 
executed. You can 'force' a FORGET> part on any word with <xt> 
IS-FORGET> name (e.g. for vectorizing words or BYE). As long as you
don't do anything silly directly from the command line, any action 
can be properly undone or cleaned up. 

In addition to this, words can also subscribe to init (bootup) and 
exit (BYE) chains.
