Yes, and the argument I have is that words like S" and TO haven't been 
considered when writing the glossary for COMPILE,.  There is a reason why 
most of these words "can't be ticked" in ANS Forth (and those who can are 
just an oversight).

The idea to make COMPILE, smart is not my idea, it's Stephen Pelc's idea - 
MPE at one point in time didn't have a single immediate word in VFX Forth, 
because they liked comp: so much.  But actually, some ANS Forth words are 
deliberately specified as "this is an immediate word", so you better set the 
immediate flag on them when you implement a Forth system.

And for immediate words, the comp field is pointing to the default 
compilation method, so COMPILE, does just what Anton wants it to do.

If we really need Anton's thing dearly, we should have INTERP, and [INTERP] 
<name> (maybe better without those brackets, we don't have them on POSTPONE) 
as compagnion for COMPILE, and POSTPONE (POSTPONE should have been called 
COMPILE - as COMPILE did only work for non-immediate words, and extending it 
for immediate words wouldn't have required a name-change).
