testcase - Additional test for UTF-16

Somebody could think that UTF-16 is a valid string representation in memory, having the char size = 1 byte (see a discussion/raw message in comp.lang.forth).

This test case ensures that C, stores a primitive character (a code unit).

T{ ALIGN HERE CHAR A C, CHAR B C, CHAR C C, 3 S" ABC" COMPARE -> 0 }

testcase - A final test case for [COMPILE]

The test that many systems fail:

T{ :NONAME 1 [COMPILE] EXIT 2 ; EXECUTE -> 1 }T

Definitely, [COMPILE] should be excluded, but not due to this test fails in some systems. There are other critical points.

See also a discussion/raw message in comp.lang.forth.

Is there a place, online, to discuss many Forth-related things

The most active places I've found seem to be the Facebook groups: ForthArduino Early Forth Forth Programming Forth 2020
