 Object-Oriented Forth?

 I've read about Dick Pountain's "Object-Oriented Forth" book.I was wondering
 if anybody has actually included his features into their compilers/inter-
 preters?  Do you think they might be useful features or take away from the
 use of Forth as a quick tool akin to a super assembler.  

 My thoughts on this is that OO would be useful, at least as an option.
 After all, object-oriented techniques are useful even in assembly
programming.
 I've also always been reminded by Forth of Lisp and OO libraries are "hot"
 right now in Lisp (CLOS and the like).
