`class:`
Contains class handlers for words.
`d:`
Contains words operating on the Dictionary.
`err:`
Contains words for handling errors.
`n:`
Contains words operating on numeric data.
`prefix:`
Contains prefix handlers.
`s:`
Contains words operating on string data.
`set:`
Contains words operating on sets (simple arrays)
`v:`
