 >A warning is in order here.

 I agree.  A few years ago, the Forth we offered our customers was 
 "vanilla" Laxen & Perry, and one of our customers had an application 
 which didn't work because he was presuming that the number conversion 
 side effects (DPL, etc.) would be consistent for all numbers.  Since 
 then, we have added more constants to the kernel in ROM, but they are 
 all headerless.
