 I have been looking through the internals of a forth implemented on the
Motorola MC68HC11.  There is a primitive in the code that performs a
branch if the top of stack is non-zero.  Is there a common word for this
kind of branch?  I am familiar with the conditional branch primitive
?BRANCH which branches if top of stack is zero.  I would prefer not to
make up a name for this conditional out of my imagination if there is a
name in common usage.
