Re: [colorforth] Unused character encodings available in Colorforth

Good observation, Mark. The tag should clearly come first.

But numbers shouldn't be 32-bit. Most numbers are considerable shorter. And
I'll be compiling colorForth on computers with other word-lengths - 20-bit,
18-bit. Perhaps a bit-count preceeding the number?

And numbers only need 2 tags, compile and execute. The long and short packed
versions are platform-dependent.

Tag 0 could indicate end-of-text. It's no longer needed as a continuation
tag.
