Blocks allow for a simple storage subsystem. In the smaller ilo
and napia based systems, they are mandatory and are the primary
means of data and code storage
Under RetroForth/nga, this is optional, but is enabled by
default.
The exposed word set is compact:
block:set-file (s-)
block:read (na-)
block:write (na-)
