Hello!

Why don't we reuse ANSI C89 functions rather than inlining comparisons?
Memory-constrained systems can redefine all relevant functions with macros.

The most important feature of pForth is portability. Does EVERY C
compiler support these functions? If not then the fix would be worse
than the problem.

They are in C89 standard (ANSI X3.159-1989), see this page which
refers to ISO C and first SVID (1985):
