http://amforth.sourceforge.net/pr/Recognizer-rfc.pdf

Recognizers offer a way to  respond to different patterns, such as a prefix for alternative number formats.  When they match, they return <something> (probably) on the stack, and a key to how to interpret, compile or postpone it. They are kinda-sorta like wordlists, and we've had some discussion as to how or whether they should be part of the Search Order. 

Although recognizers can deal with many patterns, the most common and easiest to decode is a fixed prefix followed by variable text.  Then, for example, you can write  "HELLO WORLD" instead of S" HELLO WORLD", so it is a possible replacement for dual words.  

You obviously can't tick a pattern, but it does make sense to POSTPONE it, because all the parsing is done at compile time, which makes compiler macros a bit neater.  ]] lions tigers bears "Oh My!" type [[

With a well-behaved POSTPONE S" , on the other hand, the parsing would take place when the macro was executed.
