The first layer of the compiler capsule, on the host node: TIB >IN SPAN
SOURCE BL EXPECT QUERY WORD ENCLOSE CONVERT NUMBER and the comment
words. The definitions are text, v4/capsule/core.v4 (the core words
they rest on) and v4/capsule/input.v4, assembled by the text assembler,
which can now read a file.
EXPECT, QUERY, WORD and ENCLOSE behave as v3's. CONVERT and NUMBER are
FORTH-79 (ruled 2026-10-04): any BASE, a double in the standard order,
and NUMBER returns a signed double or sets NODE-ERROR.
Executed at both cell widths against C and against values recorded from
the v3 binary.
