threaded code
     
         A technique for implementing {virtual machine}
        {interpreters}, introduced by J.R. Bell in 1973, where each
        {op-code} in the virtual machine {instruction set} is the
        address of some (lower level) code to perform the required
        operation.  This kind of virtual machine can be implemented
        efficiently in {machine code} on most processors by simply
        performing an {indirect jump} to the address which is the next
        instruction.
     
        Many {Forth} implementations use threaded code and nowadays
        some use the term "threading" for almost any technique used to
        implement Forth's virtual machine.
