\ Ok, here's the story about how we get to the native code for the
\ recovery code in case of a THROW, and why there is all this funny
\ stuff being compiled by TRY and RECOVER:

\ Upon a THROW, we cannot just return through the ordinary return
\ address, but have to use a different one, for code after the
\ RECOVER.  How do we do that, in a way portable between the various
\ threaded and native code engines?  In particular, how does the
\ native code engine learn about the address of the native recovery
\ code?

\ On the Forth level, we can compile only references to threaded code.
\ The only thing that translates a threaded code address to a native
\ code address is docol, which is only called with EXECUTE and
\ friends.  So we start the recovery code with a docol, and invoke it
\ with PERFORM; the recovery code then rdrops the superfluously
\ generated return address and continues with the proper recovery
\ code.

\ At compile time, since we cannot compile a forward reference (to the
\ recovery code) as a literal (backpatching does not work for
\ native-code literals), we produce a data cell (wrapped in AHEAD
\ ... THEN) that we can backpatch, and compile the address of that as
\ literal.

\ Overall, this leads to the following resulting code:

\   ahead
\ +><recovery address>-+
\ | then               |
\ +-lit                |
\   (try)              |
\   ...                |
\   (recover)          |
\   ahead              |
\   docol: <-----------+
\   rdrop
\   ...
\   then
\   ...
