Looking at the Vierte Dimension 2/2024, which arrived this week, I
find another article about the new, 32-bit strongForth, and also the
link

Whether it's too far or not is up to the recipient to decide.  But
yes, if you have a single and a double on the stack, say "1 2.", then
in standard Forth you have to use ROT to switch them around, while in
StrongForth you use SWAP.

+TO is a common extension.
