Robert Berkey discussed it at length on this newsgroup, in reference to
a discussion about whether or not LMI Forth allows the setting of the
variables >IN and BLK to affect the input stream.  I believ that an
implementation is on GEnie somewhere.

Yes, because the input stream mechanism is precisely defined.
The implementation isn't particularly pretty, because the dpANS
input stream mechanism mostly looks like the traditional (i.e. too
many visible nuts and bolts) Forth input stream.
