This will allow us to support backward branching with just one new (bbr) word.
Also, this allow us to have "(" word sooned in core.fth and thus allow for
earlier commenting.
Big one.
This allows us to write higher order words directly in Forth, which is much
more convenient than writing post-immediate (see "NOT" structure in diff if
you want to see what I mean) structures in ASM.
These structures can then be written to ROM (rather than loaded in RAM for
definitions loaded at run-time).
That's quite a bit of tooling that was added, 2 compilations stages, but I
think it's well worth it.
