One reason why this is unlikely is that most OOF systems use something like M:, :M, or a context-sensitive : to define methods, and therefore, these xts are not arbitary xts. IIRC, especially mini-oof and mini-oof2 allow arbitary xts to be assigned to methods, because it deliberately does not have a M: (would cost another line of code or two ;-). So maybe that's a dangerous idea. Most OOFs don't follow this dangerous part, which makes the impact of SET-COMPILER much lower. BTW: Many OOF systems (as Alex McDonald described it) have a number of parsing state-smart words now, which are problematic to tick, anyways. There's a lot of risk with using those; dot parser recognizer could help, but at the cost of different syntax. The next reason why this is unlikely is that these methods are user-defined words, not system words. Or at least only simple system words. mini-oof or mini-oof2 stubs probably get a ' DROP or ' 2DROP to clean up input parameters, stub flag returns a ' TRUE or ' FALSE. Would you really instantiate a method with S" or TO? Last: For sure, people do make creative use of the tools they get by a Forth systems (standard and non-standard tools). And there's no policing. That's fine, that's part of the Forth culture, you don't just get a two-edged sword, you get a bag of ninja throwing stars, too, they are sharp on all 10 sides. That however means, that once you have a SET-COMPILER for optimization purposes, people will use it for other purposes, too. This can't be avoided. There's also no point in discussing whether SET-COMPILER shall be banned: We might not make it standard, but it will continue to exist as non-standard feature. You may convince Stephen to make a dual-xt S" and TO, but you won't convince him to take SET-COMPILER out. So that means people who use VFX can use SET-COMPILER to create words which don't work as methods of mini-oof. So what? I remember Andrew Haley's response to recognizers. He thought they were a way too powerful tool, because with the recognizer proposal, the user can alter the complete outer interpreter. It can become a completely different language. IMHO, SET-COMPILER is a much smaller change to Forth. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" net2o ID: kQusJzA;7*?t=uy@X}1GWr!+0qqp_Cn176t4(dQ* http://bernd-paysan.de/
