`------------------------------------------
Since `TO` must parse the parse area, we should update the reference implementation in [E.12.6.2.1628](https://forth-standard.org/standard/implement#imp:floating:FVALUE). The minimal change is as follows.

```forth
VARIABLE %var

: TO   \ (  ... "<spaces>name" -- )
  '  [: 1 %var ! ;]
  STATE @ IF COMPILE, COMPILE, ELSE EXECUTE EXECUTE THEN
; IMMEDIATE

: FVALUE ( F: r -- ) ( "<spaces>name" -- )
   CREATE F,
   DOES> %var @ IF F! ELSE F@ THEN
         0 %var ! ;

: VALUE ( x "<spaces>name" -- )
   CREATE ,
   DOES> %var @ IF ! ELSE @ THEN
         0 %var ! ;
```
