Hm, the Forth standard does not specify append. I append to files by opening
them r/w, and then seeking to the end (i.e. fd file-size throw fd
reposition-file throw). A change to Gforth would be trivial, just add the
necessary C modes to fileattr in engine/main.c ("ab", "ab", "a+b", "a+b"),
and define the constants in kernel/files.fs (6 for w/a, 8 for rw/a).
