You young kids today. You're spoiled by all this memory! Back in the old
days where you were amazed when you actually had a full 64K to play with
and the only language that could do the job right was Forth... in those
days you learned how to program stack code. Use whitespace and comments!

			%  babble
	foo bar		%  grubbish bubbles
	  blatz		%  grubbish bubbles-x bubbles-y
	  mumble	%  grubbish+deltax grubbish+deltay
	  tilderoll	%  frobozz status | false
