I would like to propose the inclusion of the word CELLSIZE in new
Forth interpreters.

CELLSIZE	( --- n )
Leaves the number of 8-bit bytes per cell.  Returns 2 for a 16-bit
Forth and 4 for a 32-bit Forth.

How can I get this idea to the ANSI committee?

P. S.  Why do I keep typing "Froth"?  Is it because I am rabid?  ;-)
