The ANS Forth standard states that programs written to it must document what the program expects of “implementation specific behavior,” so I think it would be prudent for C programs to follow suit. And there are “implementation specific behavior” in C (character set used for source code, size of int, whether char is signed or unsigned, limitations on environment variables names, etc.).
