Not necessarily.  What systems had 'multiple WHILE' before ANS introduced
it?  Brodie mentions it in 'Thinking FORTH' (1984) but without details or
endorsement by a Standard who would risk it?  I don't know what was in
Forth-78 but Forth-77 only offered  ;:  and  ;CODE  as definer words.
I can imagine FST-79 tossing up the available options - the latest of
which was CREATE DOES> from Forth Inc.
