Yes, but a word that is changed whenever some word is defined is
unusual.
Ok, the value LASTXT returns changes whenever a word is defined, so we
have something like that already. But that's the only purpose of
LASTXT, so that's not really surprising. For RECURSE the original
purpose is just to compile a reference to the last defined word, not
to be a synonym for the last defined word, so for RECURSE it's
surprising, at least for me. Maybe we will find productive uses for
this new, extended RECURSE, and hopefully there are no pitfalls that
we find only afterwards.
