Ah forth.  I did lots of work with forth back when the trs model-100
was still a cool computer.   It seemed odd that a stack oriented
language did not support recursion.   I suspect that recent versions
have solved that.  In other news the FreeBSD boot loader was a version
of forth.  Maybe it still is.
