I think that depends on your system. For example if f. uses EMIT and
EMIT is a DEFER the solution would be obvious.

You can do that if every output uses EMIT and EMIT is a DEFER.

I dont think that extra wordsets are very useful - they make things
complex. If you have the possibility to use EMIT as a DEFER,
everything else uses this EMIT, then you've everything in a FORTHish
way to do whatever you want.
