    I can't switch to the "compact" memory model (which makes all data pointers 32-bit "far" pointers and allows more than 64kb of data) without significant extra work, because Jorth is built on the pervasive assumption of 16-bit pointers. I'd have to significantly rework string handling at the very least.

    It seems needlessly difficult to say "store this big statically allocated array in a new segment and refer to it with a far pointer but keep everything else in one near block" :/
