It would be nice if there was a repository somewhere with
non-standard tricks available in existing systems. To make it
more than a curiosity it should show examples of use (for the
specific system).

In general I am not surprised that anything imaginable can be
done in Forth. *Why* somebody would want do implement it is
much more interesting. That is still a long way from needing
standardization.
