You mean you want to compile C to Forth?  It's been done but the example
I know of requires the ability to read (PICK) and maybe write cells in
the interior of the data stack.  That kind of breaks Forth's stack
abstraction.

Why would you want to do that anyway?  C maps pretty well to register
hardware.  Do you have stack hardware that you want to run C code on?
