Forth

( Inner core. This unit represents core definitions that
happen right after native definitions. Before core.fs.
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.
This means, of course, that any word compiling a _c word
can't be executed immediately.
