Projection doesn't make any sense to me in a stack-based language.  
It's clear how it works and why you'd want it in something like J  
where you have dyadic functions. In a stack-based language however,  
all functions are unary. Adding projection would seem to complicate  
the semantics for very little benefit. If someone thinks otherwise,  
I'd be glad to hear why.
