-"A slightly lower-level facility, " { $emphasis "compiler transforms" } ", allows an ordinary word definition to co-exist with a version that performs compile-time expansion."
-{ $subsections define-transform }
-"An example is the " { $link member? } " word. If the input sequence is a literal, the compile transform kicks in and converts the " { $link member? } " call into a series of conditionals. Otherwise, if the input sequence is not literal, a call to the definition of " { $link member? } " is generated."
