I'd expect it can all be done in Forth, but you have to carefully manage
all of the scaffolding, probably including some kind of OOP system to
hold compound values; some kind of iteration convention for lists,
arrays, or what have you; and ways to pass those things to HOF's, along
with XT's all over the place.  It's a lot of complexity to follow and
likely to be bug-prone.  It's not impossible.  It's just harder than it
would be if those features were built in.
