Previously, these words would be ascii emitters, but seldom used
except for the SPC emitter. However, I would often end up hardcoding
these constants. With useless emitters removed and ASCII constants
added, we have a more usable system.
Also, fix broken test harness.
The idea is to consider assemblers as "runtime" apps instead of
placing them in the "bootstrap" section of the blocks. These apps
will be used for much more than bootstrapping.
Moved its documentation to doc/asm.txt and made its code blocks
more compact.
With the Visual Editor, BROWSE is of dubious value. Even before that,
it was of dubious value. It's the only user of the CASE word, which
is also of dubious value: too complicated for its own good.
The CMD pattern used in VE is much better.
There is an alternate git history where I continued the Forth-ification of
words, including "SKIP?", but that was a bad idea: because that word was
written by flow control immediates, I stepped into quicksands where stability
became necessary in z80c.fs and I couldn't gracefully get out of it.
I'm stepping back and take this opportunity to replace the shoddy SKIP? algo
with a more straightforward (?br) implementation.
(br) and (?br) will always stay in boot code where it's easier manage a stable
ABI.
