You may be confusing SET-COMPILER (which changes COMPILE, and should
not make any difference except in performance) with SET-COMPSEM (which
changes NAME>COMPILE and other compilation-semantics-related words).

SET-COMPILER is very appropriate for words with default compilation
semantics like +.  It is the mechanism used to specify the specific
implementation of this word in the code generator.

Once you are at "interpretation semantics", immediacy no longer plays
a role.  If you do NAME>INTERPRET COMPILE, you get what Stephen Pelc
calls "interp-compile,", i.e., you append the interpretation semantics
of the word to the current definition.

It's unclear what you mean by that.  A common usage (use 2) of
COMPILE, is to mean "I want to have the same semantics as EXECUTEing
this xt would give me now, but I want it appended to the current
definition".  I don't know if you call this usage "a full compiler".
The other thing we have is compilation semantics.  For words with
default compilation semantics like +, there is no difference, but for
other words there is.  That's why we cannot use SET-COMPILER for both,
but need SET-COMPSEM in addition.
