----------------------------------------------------------------
v:limit
Data: alu-
Addr: -
Float: -
Fetch the value stored at the address, then run `n:limit` against it, using the specified lower and upper bounds. Then store the resulting value back to the original address.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------
v:off
Data: a-
Addr: -
Float: -
Set a variable to 0.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------

Float: -
Set a variable to -1.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------
v:preserve
Data: aq-
Addr: -
Float: -
Make a copy of the value at the address, then run the quote. Once the quote completes, restore the address to the specified value.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------
v:update-using
Data: aq-
Addr: -
Float: -
Fetch a value from the specified address, then run the quotation with this value on the stack. Afterwards, store the returned value at the original address.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: v | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------
var
Data: s-
Addr: -
Float: -
Create a variable. The variable is initialized to 0.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all
Example #1:
'Base var

Float: -
Create a variable with the specified initial value.
Class Handler: class:word | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all
Example #1:
#10 'Base var<n>
----------------------------------------------------------------
while
Data: q-
Addr: -
Float: -
Execute quote repeatedly while the quote returns a `TRUE` value. The quote should return a flag of either `TRUE` or `FALSE`, though `while` will treat any non-zero value as `TRUE`.

Float: -
Perform a bitwise XOR operation.
Class Handler: class:primitive | Namespace: global | Interface Layer: all
----------------------------------------------------------------
{
Data: -
Addr: -
Float: -
