Re: Identifier Use of _ vs -

I would prefer to see some sort of class, struct, or namespace
mechanism that would make this awkwardness unneeded. PolyFORTH had
vocabularies, which worked very nicely for this purpose, but that
feature has been left out of SwiftX. Apparently, Forth, Inc. has
decided that SwiftX is only for small projects where the namespace
does not get unmaintainably large.
