1.1       root        1: 
                      2: Initializers are called when the forth kernel is started, to do some
                      3: initialization stuff. 
                      4: Pro: If code needs initialization you can keep this in place with the code
                      5: and don't need to patch the kernel itself to do so.
                      6: 
                      7: There are 2 types of initializers. "Normal" and "Late" initializers.
                      8: 
                      9: Since initializers are only called during startup, they don't need a name.

                     11: Definition:
                     12:   initializer      ( xt -- )
                     13:   late-initializer ( xt -- )
                     14: 
                     15: Examples:
                     16:   :noname <definition> ; initializer
                     17: 
                     18:   :noname
                     19:      some-base initializations
                     20:   ; late-initializer
                     21:  
                     22: Late initializers are run after all ordinary initializers have
                     23: been executed.
