If you look at the rationale of RECURSE, you will find that "on some systems 
this is called MYSELF".  If you think of RECURSE as MYSELF, I suspect that 
your surprise is going away.

The reason I made this change for was that the original RECURSE didn't do 
all what RECURSIVE could do.  The obviously missing part is ['] the curent 
word.

The obvious difference between git Gforth's RECURSE and Gforth's 0.7.x 
RECURSE is when you [COMP'] both.
