   36: \ Ok, here's the story about how we get to the native code for the
   37: \ recovery code in case of a THROW, and why there is all this funny
   38: \ stuff being compiled by TRY and RECOVER:
   39: 
   40: \ Upon a THROW, we cannot just return through the ordinary return
   41: \ address, but have to use a different one, for code after the
   42: \ RECOVER.  How do we do that, in a way portable between the various
   43: \ threaded and native code engines?  In particular, how does the
   44: \ native code engine learn about the address of the native recovery
   45: \ code?
   46: 
   47: \ On the Forth level, we can compile only references to threaded code.
   48: \ The only thing that translates a threaded code address to a native
   49: \ code address is docol, which is only called with EXECUTE and
   50: \ friends.  So we start the recovery code with a docol, and invoke it
   51: \ with PERFORM; the recovery code then rdrops the superfluously
   52: \ generated return address and continues with the proper recovery
   53: \ code.
   54: 
   55: \ At compile time, since we cannot compile a forward reference (to the
   56: \ recovery code) as a literal (backpatching does not work for
   57: \ native-code literals), we produce a data cell (wrapped in AHEAD
   58: \ ... THEN) that we can backpatch, and compile the address of that as
   59: \ literal.
   60: 
   61: \ Overall, this leads to the following resulting code:
   62: 
   63: \   ahead
   64: \ +><recovery address>-+
   65: \ | then               |
   66: \ +-lit                |
   67: \   (try)              |
   68: \   ...                |
   69: \   (recover)          |
