OK, but I'm still confused about one issue: what happens with a normal
colon definition, like

   : square ( n -- n ) dup * ;

Does that manage to compile a few bytes of code and headers into flash,
i.e. does the chip support updating individual flash bytes?  I thought
the usual way flash worked was you have to write a whole page at a time,
with the pages tending to be large.

It will be great if they make those FRAM parts in DIP format.  The
so-called "value line" is a bit disappointing since even the more
powerful, non "value" chips are still nice and small compared with the
32-bit stuff that's out there now.
