In the beginning of Collapse OS' Forth version, the readline sub-
system was optional. This is why we had this separate RDLN$ routine
and that the input buffer was allocated at boot time.

It's been a while since the RDLN system has been made mandatory, but
we still paid the complexity tax of this separation. Not anymore.

Previously, these words would be ascii emitters, but seldom used
except for the SPC emitter. However, I would often end up hardcoding
these constants. With useless emitters removed and ASCII constants
added, we have a more usable system.

Also, fix broken test harness.

It doesn't require emitting words anymore. The rename to NL> is
linked to the upcoming commit.

Splitting a word into MSB/LSB pairs happens often and is worth, I
think, native words. Also, I'm going to need it in the upcoming
commits.

Recipes contain bits and pieces of hardware-related knowledge, but
these bits feel sparse. I've been wanting to consolidate hardware-
related documentation for a while, but always fell at odds with the
recipes organisation.

We don't have recipes anymore, just a /doc/hw section that contains
hardware-related documentation which often translate to precise
instructions to run Collapse OS on a specific machine.

With this new organisation, I hope to end up with a better, more
solid documentation.

With KEY and EMIT being switch words, most of the high layer can
be defined before drivers.

In addition to this change, I've compacted core blocks which were
becoming quite sparse.

The idea is to consider assemblers as "runtime" apps instead of
placing them in the "bootstrap" section of the blocks. These apps
will be used for much more than bootstrapping.

Moved its documentation to doc/asm.txt and made its code blocks
more compact.

It's more descriptive this way. Also, I'll soon add a new HERESTART
config.

Previously, recipes that began spitting binary contents before
loading block 282 would end up with VARIABLE code in their binary,
thus breaking them. We fix this by making this loading process
2-part.

and renamed it "Core words". Also, reworded the presentation.

Instead of letting each configuration taking care of RDLN$ and
"CollapseOS" prompt, move this to BOOT to simplify xcomp units.

Initialization source code is now only for driver initialization.

During "make updatebootstrap", we use less than 0x20 bytes on the
PSP side and less than 0x40 bytes on the RSP one. 0x100 bytes ought
to be enough for anybody.

Finally got rid of the XPACKed core and managed to cross-compile
all core words, which greatly simplifies the bootstrapping process.

Makes xcomp.fs units shorter.

TODO: implement X['] so that I can remove those XCURRENT patterns.

This leaves space for xcomp-core which is growing.

This allows us to move words like ABORT" to xcomp-core, which is
I think the last roadblock before being able to unify all drivers
into a single xcomp layer.

Now I struggle to remember why I ever did things they way I did.
There must have been a reason...

The goal is to insert device drivers in between.

I'd like to move this code, along with all recipe contents, to blk/.
It's easier if "emul-related" code is gathered at the same place.

With all this recent movements, we had a bit of a fragmentation
issue.

I'm reserving the 100-200 range for non-bootstrapping needs.

no floppy yet.

Big bootstrapping change which greatly reduces the role of the modern
operating system in the bootstrapping process.

Less noisy this way

The way is clear for complete stage1 bootstrapping on the RC2014
target!

It seems that xcomp can't manage to reliably compile core+ units.
Let's limit the role of xcomp to z80c+icore.

I'm getting a little desperate here. I'll revisit the link.fs approach
with a new idea I had...

... instead of building boot.fs, and then z80c.fs/icore.fs in separate
passes. This strengten xcomp by making it support 2 completely separate
dicts (that is, the X dict is *not* connected to the system dict. The chain
now stops at EXIT def in boot.fs).

We can now cross-compile core.fs.

Memory mapping is a dead end too, solution has to be at a higher
level. xcomp is my new approach.
