 I don't think we have any disagreement here, but I really do
 feel the need to make the distinction between "generating an
 argument by scanning the current input stream"  and "always
 preceding the argument".  Both are "prefix", but they aren't
 quite the same thing.
 .
 I certainly agree with your postscript about being able to add
 new, useful factorings while maintaining current practice.  I
 find the current colon and CREATE work well just as they are,
 and I also want some functions to build dictionary entries
 from arbitrarily generated strings.
