The previous approach of maintaining R> and W> pointers was
conceptually simple, but made INT handler code actually quite
complex.
Now, we maintain indexes instead. It's much easier to perform
bounds checks and to compare for equality, something we have to
do quick in the INT handler.
Driver configuration don't need their own words at runtime, we only
need to compile them as literals when compiling words.
Now that we have this "declaration blocks" pattern emerging, it
seems like a good idea to take advantage of this in drivers, both
for simplifying the xcomp unit and to make final binary slimmer.
