Perhaps a better comparison would be locals which are searched
before the dictionary.

More important IMO is whether to implement recognizers in the first
place.  Recognizers (and for that matter quotations) may represent
situations you never encounter in practice.  When asked why Colorforth
didn't have CREATE DOES>, Chuck responded: "I haven't implemented
'does' because I haven't needed it."

Waiting until you have a need before implementing something isn't just
a great way to determine its worth, it's an effective use of time and
resources.  The problems of others, real or perceived, isn't your problem
until you make it so.
