    Doc excerpts, as a teaser:

      - SDF JKL layout keeps me on home row, ready to type Forth.
      - 39 columns source text to fit the C64 screen.
      - `0 prof` patches the first instruction to an `rts`,
        disabling the profiler. `1 prof` restores the `eor`.
      - The `dup 0= +` phrase ensures nonzero seed, harmless but
        it's cute and I've grown fond of it.
      - Might be able to spread `land` work across frames but the
        complexity isn't worth it.
      - I choose the extra `rdrop` cognitive load just for its
        aesthetic.
      - <!-- It's better left unsaid. -->
    
    I would be tickled if this was the thing to bring at least a few people from vaguely Forth-curious to writing something substantial. Tell me what delights or confuses you. What could be better, what needs examples.
