EQU help states "If ... referenced inside a target colon definition, its value will be compiled as a literal". Does this mean that
if <name> or "EQU" is referenced? I found code with EQU inside an interpreter colon definition. I don't know what it does, other
than popping a cell off the stack. Could someone explain it please?

Example:
--------
\ ACE: defines registers in the TI dual ACE chip.
\ 'ACE is the base address for the TI chip.
INTERPRETER
: ACE: ( r -- ) 'ACE + EQU ;

Help:
-----
EQU <name>
( x — )

Define a one-cell constant in the host only, whose value is x. If an EQU is referenced inside a target colon definition, its value
will be compiled as a literal. Execution of name returns x.
