``Memory management is stack management'' is a failing of the
implementation of Forth, more than of the language itself.  That
implementation shows up most annoyingly in FORGET: it throws away
everything after the word you really want to change (which could be 20
or 30 definitions deep).  This is another reason you fall back into
the edit/compile/execute loop, especially when debugging.
