The C programmers reading this are likely wondering why I'm being
attacked. The reason is that Elizabeth Rather has made it clear to
everybody that this is what she wants:

Every Forth programmer who aspires to get a job at Forth Inc. is
obliged to attack me. Attacking my software that I posted on the FIG
site is preferred, but personal attacks work too. It is a loyalty
test.
