That's interesting: commands that consume everything in the stack. About saving/loading words: I have plans to work on that, it could be a very useful feature.

Postscript had the concept of dropping a mark on the stack that allowed commands that would consume the whole stack to also stop at a mark if encountered.

  5 4 mark 3 2 1 sum -> 5 4 6
