Standard word for printing the topmost element in Forth for decades, though. (The 1970 manual[1] uses it to introduce definitions instead, in place of the modern-day colon, but by 1977 using it for printing was already the consensus and made it into the Forth-77 standard[2].) It is less than perfect for programmatic use, what with the obligatory space afterwards and no field-width support (there are other words for that), but very nice in a REPL, where using a single unshifted key on a US keyboard is important[3].
