Old versions of RetroForth used to maintain two dictionaries, one for
normal words, and one for compile-only functions.

When compiling, the compile-only dictionary was searched first, and if
nothing was found, the normal dictionary would then be searched.

It didn't have actual ANS wordlists though.

A few builds were done with a third dictionary, but as far as I recall
no one actually used this and it was dropped.
