Exactly how I feel. I'd much rather waste my time on saner
architectures; and there are many of those...

If you don't already know it, you might want to check out
L. Benschop's SOD32 emulator + Forth:

It's pretty much like what you propose, except that the machine
architecture is different from Chuck's designs. And its Forth is ANS.
