Problem
In Forth-94 no data type symbol contain a space. In Forth-2012 some data type symbols contain spaces, so stack diagrams are worse read.
Some examples
Forth-94
( i*x xt -- j*x )
( n1|u1 n2|u2 -- n3|u3 )
Forth-2012
( i * x xt -- j * x )
( n1 | u1 n2 | u2 -- n3 | u3 )
Solution
Remove spaces from data type symbols.
Proposal
Everywhere in the text of the standard replace u | n
, u_ | n_
, i * x
, j * x
, k * x
by u|n
, u_|n_
, i*x
, j*x
, k*x
correspondingly.
