Ain't that not self-bootstrapping enough to your taste? Whoa, I'm
getting dizzy...

+
+  Unlike core.fs and its followers, this unit isn't self-
+  sustained. Like native defs it uses the machinery of a
+  full Forth interpreter, notably for flow structures.
+
+  Because of that, it has to obey specific rules:
+
+  1. It cannot compile a word from higher layers. Using
+     immediates is fine though.
+  2. If it references a word from this unit or from native
+     definitions, these need to be properly offsetted
+     because their offset at compile time are not the same
+     as their runtime offsets.
+  3. Anything they refer to in the boot binary has to be
+     properly stabilized.
+  4. Make sure that the words you compile are not overridden
+     by the full interpreter.
+)
+
+( When referencing words from native defs or this very unit,
+  use this compiling word, which subtract the proper offset
+  from the compiled word. That proper offset is:
+  1. Take ROT-header addr, the first native def.
+  2. Subtract _bend, boot's last word.
+  3. That will give us the offset to subtract to get the addr
+     of our word at runtime.
