FORTH-79's reference .R right-justifies the number in its field and
prints nothing after it; v3 printed a space. . U. and D. still print
their one space.

One case per byte position, like C!: the cell is shifted down with a
2/ loop and masked. It replaces the version built on LSHIFT, RSHIFT
and SWAP calls. C@ now leaves its caller 7 return entries (was 4), and
the words above it gain with it: TYPE 6 (was 3), DUMP 4, Q.PRINT, U.
and U.R 3 (were 2). The signed number words stay at 2: their sign
waits on the return stack.

BASE and HLD leave their variable's word address; DECIMAL, HEX and
OCTAL store 10, 16 and 8. Executed on the golden model at both cell
widths, including a recorded transcript of the v3 binary.

Built on the number-output words and executed on the golden model at
both cell widths against a C reference and recorded transcripts of the
v3 binary (DUMP byte for byte at 64-bit cells).
Q.PRINT is signed (D-8) and always decimal; DUMP is always hex; both
put BASE back. Each keeps its working state in a variable, (QP) and
(DP), so each leaves its caller 4 data cells and 2 return entries.
