That won't interfere with the compiler?  Plus of course doing such
redefinitions requires knowing the machine language of the target box,
and I wasn't really familiar with that.

You still have to download the code into the box each cycle, and reboot
the box and wait for all the hardware to come up, and either do all the
post-boot setup (entering a bunch of data by hand) that it took to get
to the state you want to debug, or else spend time writing scripts for
that.  I do see advantage for Forth for that scripting.
