Well, it’s difficult to guess the size right now. But I'm almost sure that
size of the extension itself (without kernel code) will be smaller. ;)
Depending on application, size of Forth code comparable with size of assembler
code. The whole pbForht image is only ~12k!
Beside the size, I think the real advantage of pbForth implementation would be
in extensibility.
