! I dunno.  I'd have to meet her first, date a while and get to know her.  She
! might be just the girl for me.  :)

I should tell you a bit about her:  her left leg is 11" shorter than
the right  (a compromise between tall and short members of ANSI team);
She's quite fat (eating all those high calorie new features).
Also she's bald (after hours of debate no agreement could be reached
on hair color -- so the team decided to leave it out after one member
said  "Woof -- who needs hair!". 8-)

The idea of dating sounds like a good idea.  I wish that there
were a way of making a formal proposal to the ANSI team to allow
a dating period before they declare this phase of their work finished.
(Someone should make a test implementation -- they were doing that
for a while -- and let the Forth Community see what would be involved
if she were to become a companion for life.)
