In "A rationale for ARRAYs in the Forth Scientific Library"
http://www.taygeta.com/fsl/docs/fsl_arrays.html
I found this phrase:
& name{ #elements }malloc
What does the character & indicate at the beginning of the line?
In that document it is also used this way:
a{ & b{ &!
Is & a forth word? How about &! ?
