For a user-defined word (and most standard words), the interpretation
semantics are its execution semantics (3.4.3.2).

Well, if you know that it is immediate, the compilation semantics is
to EXECUTE the xt.  If you mean that you only have an xt and want to
get the compilation semantics, no, you cannot get that in the
standard.  We have managed to live without this capability; do you
have a use for it?

No.  The compilation semantics of, e.g., S" is not an optimization of
compiling its interpretation semantics.  They do different things.

Bernd Paysan knows the difference, but claims that it does not occur
in practice.

Code that uses COMPILE, on the xt of an immediate word.
