There is a compatible implementation, which is not that easy.  But if 
you know how to implement EVALUATE, EXECUTE-PARSING is totally easy: Do 
exactly the same things, but instead of calling INTERPRET, do EXECUTE on 
the xt.

That's how we implement it in Gforth.  And then we define evaluate as

: evaluate ['] interpret execute-parsing ;

I.e. execute-parsing is a factor of evaluate.  We have another for 
files, because quite often, you want to read files with your own 
interpreter, too.  So we do the same thing there - instead of doing 
INTERPRET on each line, we execute an xt for each line, and expose that 
factor to the user.

Propose a better name.  It hasn't so much traction that a better name 
can't be adopted.  A usual procedure during standardization is to select 
another name.

My take on this would be EVAL-WITH, and for the file INCLUDED-WITH.
