Hmm.  There's no way to execute a construct that can't be converted
into wordcode, is there?  E.g. a sufficiently long function body would
trigger this?

I'm not very familiar with the wordcode internals.  Are there internal
pointers that refer forward or backward to previous locations in the
wordcode, other than for caching of strings?
