Hmm... Well, parsing Forth is certainly easier than parsing Scheme, but
since is _is_ possible to write a Scheme program which parses its own
source (a reader), I'd say that you can imitate the odd tricks Forth can do.
I still prefer Forth, of course. Parentheses are made for comments --
that, after all, is the original Greek meaning of the word.
