I understand the need for c-addr u in certain situations, but it is IMO
not a good idea to always having to supply the u. Only supply it where
it is needed.

Rudy Velthuis does know what he is talking about. He is just not so
familiar with current affairs in Forth yet and wonders why certain
things are done the way they are currently done, in Forth.

I don't quite know what you mean with "derivative strings" though. 

And where I come from, strings are often modified, e.g. concatenated,
replaced, searched, etc. They often have a life that is a little bit
longer than what could be found in the current input buffer or other
volatile storate.

I assume this is not the case in most Forth code? Or are such strings
generally compiled into a definition or stored in a variable, meaning
they are copied after all?
