Hm, interesting assertion. The place I mentioned before is a little FORTH i=
nterpreter I was working on ( https://github.com/OneWingedShark/Forth ) so =
that Forth.VM (the package containing the VM/interpreter) and Forth.Types (=
the package containing the data-types [for cells] and cell-operations) coul=
d be mutually dependent:
    -- Routine is an access to a procedure; this cannot be put into a
    -- subpool, sadly, and is intended only for definition of words;
    -- typically, the routines pointed to should have full view of the
    -- VM (that is the stacks) in order to manipulate them.
    Type Routine is Access Procedure( State : not null access Forth.VM.Inte=
rpreter );


Is that a bad design-choice? If so, why?
