NEXTNAME stores the name somewhere and changes the header-creating
word to take that name for the next header it creates instead of using
the input stream; and after creating the header from the stored
string, the header-creating words resets itself to taking a name from
the input stream.  There is also NONAME, which works in a simular way;
i.e.,

noname : ... ; lastxt

is equivalent to

:noname ... ;

but you can also use NONAME with other defining words, e.g., with
CREATE or CONSTANT.

NEXTNAME is older than EXECUTE-PARSING, and would probably not have
come into existence if we had EXECUTE-PARSING first, but it can do one
thing that cannot be done with EXECUTE-PARSING: we can pass arbitrary
data to it, including bytes that look like white space when
interpreted as string.  That's useful when we want to use TABLEs (like
wordlists, but with literal comparison instead of case-insensitive
comparison on lookup) with binary data as lookup keys.

I have thought about such things sometimes, too, but I have always
come to the conclusion that we can just as well do it as a sequence of
words, i.e., in this case T >S, T S>, T S@, T RESET or somesuch.
