is added, and otherwise execution continues with the cell following
the branch offset in the definition.
+Note that the branch offset is a byte count and each FORTH word of a
+definition take up a cell of 8 bytes. The offset is relative to the
+cell address immediately subsequent to the offset cell. In other
+words, offset 0 is not branching anywhere and an offset of -16 would
+make a tight loop back to the branch instruction itself. The latter
+would pull data stack values until and including the first non-zero
+value.
