Word description
Begins a block of private word definitions. Private word definitions are placed in the current vocabulary name, suffixed with .private.

Notes
The following is an example of usage:

IN: factorial <PRIVATE : (fac) ( accum n -- n! ) dup 1 <= [ drop ] [ [ * ] keep 1 - (fac) ] if ; PRIVATE> : fac ( n -- n! ) 1 swap (fac) ;

The above is equivalent to:

IN: factorial.private : (fac) ( accum n -- n! ) dup 1 <= [ drop ] [ [ * ] keep 1 - (fac) ] if ; IN: factorial : fac ( n -- n! ) 1 swap (fac) ;
