FWIW, I implemented ID3 in Forth back in around 1984 to support a
friend's thesis research; it was used to evaluate comments made by
manufacturing engineers on process control.    (01)

An issue it raised, which has been mentioned in the literature, is
that it grew rather complex, bushy decision trees. I think that might
be a part of the reason for migration to C4.5
