15.6.2.1580 FORGET TOOLS EXT

( "<spaces>name" -- )

Skip leading space delimiters. Parse name delimited by a space. Find name, then delete name from the dictionary along with all words added to the dictionary after name. An ambiguous condition exists if name cannot be found.

If the Search-Order word set is present, FORGET searches the compilation word list. An ambiguous condition exists if the compilation word list is deleted.

An ambiguous condition exists if FORGET removes a word required for correct execution.

Note:

This word is obsolescent and is included as a concession to existing implementations.

See:

3.4.1 Parsing, A.15.6.2.1580 FORGET.

Rationale:

Typical use: ... FORGET name ...

FORGET name tries to infer the previous dictionary state from name; this is not always possible. As a consequence, FORGET name removes name and all following words in the name space.
