Forth libraries conventionally are position-independent by coming as
source code.

Why does SwiftForth use PIC?  AFAIK They have not even managed to
separate code from writable data (which might be a reason to move code
around), so why use PIC?  It cannot be for SAVESYSTEM, because the
image is not PIC anyway, because addresses are absolute (unlike in
early Win32Forth versions) and can be stored in the image.
