Which DOESN'T 'mean', because I DIDN'T write anywhere
that the instructions used for moving bytes are useless;
what I wrote was that YOUR way of 'overloading' Forth
words with byte moving stuff (in the strange belief that
it is 'canonical way') doesn't make much sense.

Since you aren't able to read WITH UNDERSTANDING - or
maybe you're twisting my words on purpose, which means
you're trolling - we better end such 'discussion', because
it's as pointless as creating the words that half of their
execution time just move the bytes "Back and Forth".
