I see no infinite loop occuring here.  What's your point?

NAME>INTERPRET and NAME>COMPILE are standard ways to access them, now
we just need a FIND-NAME to go with them.

These are composite words, not primitives, as obvious from their
systematic names.  Here are implementations of these words:

: interp-execute  ( .. nt -- .. ) name>interpret execute ;
: comp-execute    ( .. nt -- .. ) name>compile execute ;
: interp-compile, ( .. nt -- .. ) name>interpret compile, ;
: comp-compile,   ( .. nt -- .. ) name>compile swap postpone literal compile, ;

> EXECUTE and COMPILE, map onto two of these
>(probably).

On a system where nt=xt, EXECUTE=INTERP-EXECUTE and
COMPILE,=INTERP-COMPILE,.

A problem with the approach Bernd Paysan is advocating (and that VFX
currently implements) is that it fails to distinguish between
INTERP-COMPILE, and COMP-EXECUTE.  For words with default compilation
semantics, there is no difference, but for other words, there is.
