\ conditional : _choose _>r _>r or z? if drop _rdrop _r> ; then drop _r> _rdrop ; \ quoted program : _quot 2 fl @ + 0 fh @ ++ ; \ quotation.. the construct { A B C } has the runtime behaviour: \ 1. load address of the composite function \ 2. jump over the code \ jumping can be eliminated by compiling the composite code after the \ containing word, however, it's probably easier to juse use a parsing \ word that compiles a jump over the quoted code for simple on-target \ compilation.
