That's less of a concern for 64-bit (even for signed arithmetic, intermediary results can be close to 1.0E19) than for the typical 16-bit values and intermediary 32-bit result that Forth was designed for.
It also is a lot less of a concern on modern systems, where floating point operations aren't much slower than integer ones.
