Every Forth programmer believes his code is readable.

Other programmers, even other Forth programmers, seldom agree with him.

I'm looking for short but non-trivial examples of code that you believe is
readable.

No one can make Forth code absolutely readable, but I believe I can make most
code more readable.  I want to test my method and verify it or find a better
method.

This is a daring challenge on my part and I may convince no one but myself but
I am confident enough to try.

If no one submits anything I will take it as a personal confession that you do
not write readable Forth code.

Procedamus in pace.
