Very interesting. I think this needs someone with quite strong Forth-fu (Stefan) to review this one. Also I can't see any related documentation with this patch related to locals support?
This is an Apple specific thing. See http://www.openfirmware.info/How_Local_Variables_in_Forth_Work_---_Using_App...
Right I understand this, but I'm fairly sure there is an official spec for Forth local variables somewhere. For something to be committed, I'd expect the commit reference to contain a link to the source specification and comments in the code giving an indication as to what the level of implementation actually is (I absolutely understand that it can be impractical to implement everything within the time available).
