Consider replacing + primitive with 2*
A single left shift ought to be smaller in hardware than an adder.
+ would be defined approximately as:
: + begin ?dup while 2dup xor -rot and 2* repeat ;
Since this depends on xor, it would have to be recoded without +:
: xor 2dup nand dup >r nand swap r> nand nand ;
