All special compilation semantics is done through the intelligent 
COMPILE, - which is a field similar to the code field (I would put it 
into the header, MPE decided to let the header as is and put it 
somewhere else).

By "not immediate" I mean it has no immediate bit set in the header.  It 
has special compilation semantics by setting the COMPILE, field to 
something different than the default.
