[314] Appendix F doesn't cater for strings.Proposal2023-11-12 13:26:28
Author:
Albert van der Horst
Change Log:
A list of changes to the last published edition on the proposal.
Problem:
The test harness of appendix F behaves as if there exits only numbers. I'd like to test HERE HEX 40 C, 41 C, HERE 2 TYPE and check that the output is "AB"
Solution:
I can't think of any. A half solution is accepting S" AB" or "AB" om a test harness.
Typical use: (Optional)
Proposal:
I hope this is taken up by someone.
Reference implementation:
Testing: (Optional)

Hello @albert,
we discussed your contribution #314 in the Forth Standard's Committee interim meeting on 2024-02-16. The comittee considers your contribution more a comment to some other contribution, most likely to the discussion of appendix F.
The committee kindly asks to repeat your comment there.
This contribution will be retired (but can be re-opened later at any time if requested).
