Hello Matthias,

I look forward to your critical reading of the patch. Currently I'm
using the mechanism to emulate Python private names convention (*) but
this scope word is bound to evolve.

Regards, Enoch.

(*) In Python names in a "module" which begin with underscore cannot be
imported to another via "from module import *".

P/S If you approve of this patch I suggest submission of an RfD to
forth200x.org.
