It should just be an error to execute words like IF and ; etc. in interpretation mode (STATE is zero). This is not ambiguous in the sense that pretty much anything could happen and not the same thing every time --- this is an error in the sense that the system aborts with an error message. Also, there is no reason to cripple FIND and ' so that it is an ambiguous condition if they are applied to a word that can't execute in interpretation mode. FIND should just return the xt and a flag of 1 to indicate that it is immediate (all of these words such as IF etc. that currently are defined as "interpretation semantics for this word are undefined" should just be defined as immediate and should just abort with an error message if they are used in interpretation mode). If the xt is given to EXECUTE and executed, it checks STATE and aborts if it is in interpretation mode but executes if it is in compilation mode. I have explained the situation as it should be in one paragraph using plain English so that any novice should be able to understand. Agree. It should be the business of the word itself to abort if invoked in the wrong the state. It is not the business of subordinate words such as ' and FIND.
