You can create words and use them normally, without adding them to the Global
Context. Try:
>> fx: first to-block "foo"
== foo
>> print in context to-block "foo: 3" fx
foo
>> use to-block "foo" bind to-block "foo: 7 print foo" 'system
7
>> to-path "a/foo"
== a/foo
>> do func to-block "foo" to-block "foo" 10
== 10
>> print in system/words fx
none
You must not use load or the default loader (of do and console), to-refinement
or to-xxx-word. Becomes a global word also the first element of a path, not
the others.
If you must load a long data file with many new words, i think could be better
to use to-block and not load.
