No.

As others have pointed out, the code very definitely goes in the 
dictionary and is there permanently (unless discarded by, e.g., MARKER). 
HERE will be modified if the implementation combines code and data 
space. LATEST will definitely change.  In other words, this is a 
definition like any other colon definition except that it does not have 
a FINDable name; access is only through its xt.

Cheers,
