When I saw the headline the first thing I thought was April Fools had arrived early in the form of a Forth IDE.

It is an appropriate name however. After dabbling in Forth for fun, I became very aware how fleeting and unnecessary local variables are.

Since then I use these kinds of 'completions' by using the extract variable refactorings, and various intent transformations - they added a syntax to existing tools.
