Re: SWOOP vs. SwiftX

We have not implemented SWOOP in SwiftX at all at this time, mainly due to
lack of demand. The CLASS word you're seeing is the one in SwiftForth, and
will not support anything in a SwiftX target.

There's a fair amount of overhead involved in any OOP scheme, and most
embedded applications need to find more efficient ways of doing what they
need to do.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
