The usual things:

\ 1)
: comp-[: postpone [: ; \ compilation semantics
: foo [ comp-[: ." hello" ;] ] ;
foo execute \ should print "hello"

\ 2)
: [int-[:] ['] [: execute ; immediate \ interpretation semantics
] [int-[:] ." hello" ;] [ execute \ should print "hello"

\ 3)
: compile, compile, ; \ give it proper interpretation semantics
: int-[: [ ' [: compile, ] ; \ interpretation semantics
int-[: ." hello ;] execute \ should print "hello"

1) and 2) fail on state-smart implementations of [:.  3) fails on an
implementation that implements non-default non-immediate compilation
semantics by misusing SET-COMPILER.

If we want these kinds of words, we should go for the implementation
techniques (i.e., dual-xt) that allow to implement them properly, even
in corner cases.  Alternatively, if we don't want to require systems
to use these implementation techniques, we should refrain from
specifying any more such words, and work on getting rid of the current
crop of such words.
