Hi all,

I've added a new feature similar to the special resource: prefix on
paths. You can now use a vocab: prefix, and Factor will search
vocabulary roots for that path for you.

For example, instead of

"resource:extra/beer/list.txt" ascii file-lines

you can write

"vocab:beer/list.txt" ascii file-lines

This is very useful for data files stored alongside vocabularies,
because it is more robust than a resource: path; you can move the
vocab from extra to basis, for instance, and it will continue to work.
Also, if you have vocab roots outside of the Factor source directory
(resource:) previously there was no way to specify a logical path
which was relative to this vocabulary. Now, you can just use vocab:.

Note that for nested vocabs, the separator in a vocab: path is / (or \
if you really want to shackle yourself to Windows); not . So you have
to do this,

vocab:io/encodings/8-bit/data.txt

NOT this

vocab:io.encodings.8-bit/data.txt

The resource: prefix still works and it has its own use-cases, but
I've updated most usages of it in the repo to use vocab: instead.
