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
