-FCL supports the traditional Forth conditionals (`if` and `case`) and loops (`do`, `while`, `until`). These are immediate words whose compilation semantics are to append the proper JUMP primitives to the current definition. FCL compiles high level threaded code, where executiontokens are method references of host language (Java).
