[PicForth] Documentation Suggestion

On thinking about it, I'm now of the opinion that the existing PicForth
documentation is in good shape
IMO, the most helpful thing would be to add lots more comments inside
picforth.fs - explaining more of the obscure words, their purpose, stack
effects etc.
Given that Forth is by nature an extensible threaded language, and given
that Forth blurs the language between compiler, language, libraries, OS,
application etc, it's only natural that users will study picforth.fs
with the aim of understanding PicForth 'under the hood'.
After some weeks, I'm starting to understand major chunks of
picforth.fs, but still, much of it is about as clear as 1-metre thick
granite. It'd help me (and others) enormously if there were more
comments in the code.
Any chance of this, Samuel? Or have I exhausted my patience with the
volume of my list postings?
