Hello,
In the Gforth's sources sometimes compiler directives are surrounded by
brackets inside a definition, not only the condition:
: name [ condition [if] ] code1 [ [else] ] code2 [ [then] ] ;
Why? Maybe to make sure the code would work in other Forth systems where
those words are not immediate?
Thank you.
Marcos
