TODO: continue
We're now ready for a re-bootstrap. Here's what we're gonna do:
1. Bring `CURRENT` and `HERE` back to `0x98f`.
2. Set `CINPTR` to `icore`'s `(c<)`.
`(c<)` word is the main input of the interpreter. Right now, your `(c<)` comes
from the `readln` unit, which makes the main `INTERPRET` loop wait for your
keystrokes before interpreting your words.
But this can be changed. At the moment where we change `CINPTR`, the interpret
loop will start reading from it, so we'll lose control. That is why we must
prepare things carefully before that. We'll re-gain control at the end of the
bootstrap source, in `run.fs`, where `(c<)` is set to `readln`'s `(c<)`

At this moment, `icore`'s `(c<)` is shadowed by `readln`, but at the moment
`CURRENT` changes, it will be accessible again. However, this all has to change
in one shot, so we need to prepare a compiled word for it if we don't want to
lose access to our interpret loop in the middle of our operation.
