For so many reasons, yes.   Sad, perhaps, but true.

That perspective won't hurt people and might do some good.

Furth is not simply a Scheme VM.   More relevently to arch, I think
that Furth is _also_ a good VM for many interesting (drastic) subsets
of Scheme and it is such drastic subsets that I expect to appear in
things like arch control files.
