+\ This is the reference implementation of tmpheap which allocates
+\ the tmpheap on the regular heap and moves definitons prefixed
+\ with || or within a ||on to ||off range onto the tmpheap.
+\ tmpclear will remove all words on the tmpheap, wheras regular clear
+\ will remove all words on tmpheap and heap together.
+
+\ Before the first use of ||, the tmpheap size in bytes must be
+\ set with mk-tmp-heap ( size -- )
