On the topic of documentation Forth Standard (the document to which
everyone looks) hasn't clarified aspects of REPRESENT F. etc.  I
believe iForth considers PRECISION to mean decimal places.  Did you

That holes still exist after 30 years can only mean forthers are
content with less than perfect documentation.  No?
