This implements a sort of "safety net", adding some compile and runtime
error checking and reporting.
The first of these is to extend the `@` and `!` prefixes to check for
the existence of a word name. In a basic image, if the name isn't found,
it will resolve to address 0 silently. This will have it report an error
if the word is not found.
