Ah, voice at last! Some lines above need comments

COMPILE; Tough one. Get addr of caller word (example above
(bbr)) and then call LITN on it. However, LITN is an
immediate and has to be indirectly executed. Then, write
a reference to "," so that this word is written to HERE.

Compilation vs meta-compilation. When you compile a word with "[COMPILE] foo",
its straightforward: It writes down to HERE wither the address of the word or
a number literal.
When you *meta* compile, it's a bit more mind blowing. It fetches the address
of the word specified by the caller, then writes that number as a literal,
followed by a reference to ",".
Example: ": foo [COMPILE] bar;" is the equivalent of ": foo bar ;" if bar is
not an immediate. However, ": foo COMPILE bar ;" is the equivalent of
": foo ['] bar , ;". Got it?
Meta-compile only works with real words, not number literals.
*** Flow ***
Note about flow words: flow words can only be used in definitions. In the
INTERPRET loop, they don't have the desired effect because each word from the
