Anywhere you might want to pass an xt to another xt. Sorting for example; : cstr-ascend count swap count compare 0> ; \ sort compare for ascending foo-sort ( array elems -- ) ['] cstr-ascend sort ; Or we could have bar-sort ( array elems -- ) [: count swap count compare 0> ;] sort ; What CTSR-ASCEND is doing isn't in the word FOO-SORT sorting, and it needs a name. Of course, for simple stuff that has a single word, then : int-ascend-sort [: > ;] sort ; is just : int-ascend-sort ['] > sort ; > However, regarding executing and compiling the > XT of the quotation outside the scope of the parent definition: you > just make that behaviour undefined. If the quotation doesn't use locals, then I'd disagree; it would be difficult to imagine an implementation where it wouldn't work in that case. > > "Compiling or executing the quotation after the definition in which > the quotation has been defined has gone out of scope may leave the > system in an undefined state" or other such verbiage. > > I'm still somewhat agog though there's serious interest in adding this > behaviour to the language, but the language doesn't include support > for... oooooh, I dunno, say, single dimension arrays out of the box. > : 1dim create cells allot does> swap cells + ; 10 1dim myarray 10 0 myarray ! 20 1 myarray ! 0 myarray @ 1 myarray @ + 2 myarray ! and so on. The language allows this out of the box. Qoutations on the other hand may require non-standard words to implement -- or at least, non-standard words to implement efficently.
