feat(v4.0.0): the dictionary: its space, its entries, and FIND

Browse Source

The second layer of the compiler capsule, v4/capsule/dict.v4: HERE ALIGN
ALLOT , C, 2, PAD LATEST; an entry layout reached entirely from the xt,
with >LINK LFA LINK> >NAME NFA NAME> CFA PFA >BODY TRAVERSE SMUDGE
HIDDEN on it; and FIND and ' .

FIND is FORTH-79's and v3's.  ' is FORTH-79's: the parameter field
address, which for a code word is what FIND gives.  ALLOT counts cells
(D-1).  31 characters of a name are significant.

Executed at both cell widths against a list of 300 entries kept in C.
WORD no longer holds its length on the return stack.
