As I understand it recognizers (I prefer to spell it recognisers) can be 
more than that. If implemented as a recognizer stack which can be 
manipulated by the user in much the same way as the search order (which 
GForth does I think) then the concept becomes more powerful. For example:

- a number recognizer could be above a word recogniser so that numbers 
can be handled before a dictionary search to avoid wasting time when 
compiling a lot of numbers

- a user definition written as a recognizer can use standard parsing 
words on the input source, removes the need for something like GForths 
EXECUTE-PARSING-FILE.

- [IF] can be written as a recognizer where coding is much simpler than 
the example given in the ANS Forth standard, including nesting of [IF]s

- a user can write an error handler for the text interpreter

If such a recognizer stack is used I agree a better name than recognizer 
is needed.
