rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 44ffd261bb feat(v4.0.0): the text assembler takes &NAME and CONST+N
&NAME is the address of a word as a literal; CONST+N is a loader
constant plus an offset as one literal, so that a capsule file can
address the cells of its scratch area without adding at run time.

/* text.h -- assemble definitions written as text onto a node.
*
* Until now every DECOMPOSITION.md definition was retyped by hand in the
* tests as calls to the slot packer (asm.h), one opcode at a time. This
* reads the definitions as they are written in the document instead:
*
* : EMIT ( c -- ) CONSOLE-TX b! !b ;
* : SPACE 32 jump EMIT
*
* and lays them down through the same slot packer, so the words it produces
* are the ones the hand-written calls would have produced. It is test
* support, like asm.h: it is not the compiler capsule (JUSTIFICATION.md
* section 9), which is itself v4 code and will be assembled by this.
*
* THE NOTATION. Tokens are separated by white space. Names are case
* sensitive; the 32 opcode mnemonics are lower case.
*
* \ ... comment to the end of the line
* ( ... ) comment to the closing parenthesis
* : NAME start the word NAME at the next instruction word. A
* word ends where the next one starts; `;` is the return
* opcode and a word may hold several, or none (it then
* runs on into the next word).
* NAME call the word NAME. It may be defined later in the
* text, or in a later call to v4_text_assemble.
* 123 -5 $FF a literal: `@p` and its value. Decimal, or hex after $.
* It must fit a cell, as a signed or an unsigned number.
* CONST a constant given by v4_text_constant: a literal.
* CONST+N the constant plus the number N: one literal. (Only when
* the whole token is not itself a name.)
* &NAME the address of the word NAME, which must already be
* defined: a literal.
* ; + dup a! ... an opcode. `@p` cannot be written; write the number.
* jump X call X if X -if X next X
* a branch to X: a label of this word if it has one of
* that name, before or after the branch; otherwise a word.
* LABEL: a label, at the next instruction word. Labels belong
* to the word they are in and may be used before they
* are defined.
* FOR ... NEXT `push`, then the body, then `next` back to the body.
* FOR ... UNEXT the same with `unext`: the body and the `unext` must
* fit one instruction word and hold no literal.
* macro NAME ... endmacro
* NAME stands for the tokens between, wherever it is
* written afterwards (the document's "in line"). A macro
* may use other macros; it may not define a word, a label
* or a macro.
*
* header NAME a dictionary entry for NAME (capsule/dict.v4), laid down
* in front of the word that the next `:` starts, and
* linked to the header before it. NAME is taken as it
* stands -- it may be ( or \ or + -- and is at most 31
* characters. Between it and the `:` may come the flags
* immediate, data, inline and compile-only. The word after
* `:` is the assembler's name for the code, as always, and
* need not be the same: header + inline : PLUS + ;
*
* A name is looked up in this order: opcode, macro, number, constant, label
* (for a branch target), word. So an opcode's name cannot be redefined, and
* the FORTH words that share one (`@`, `!`, `+`, ...) are written as their
* opcode sequences.
*
* BRANCH PLACEMENT. A branch's address field is what is left of its word, so
* it reaches less the later its slot. The slot packer refuses a branch that
* cannot reach its target; this never asks it to: a branch is put in a slot
* only if that slot reaches the whole node (at 1024 words, every legal slot),
* and otherwise starts a new word.
*
* ERRORS. The first error stops the assembly and is kept: v4_text_error
* gives a message with the line number, and every later call does nothing.
