The posibility is there, although it might not be presented as such.

Prepare some definitions in a form like this:

f[  h# 647 constant my-funny-fcode  ]f
global-definitions
[macro] my-funny-function  f[ my-funny-fcode emit-fcode ]f
device-definitions


And now your  funny function is as available as if it were something 
Standard...

Oh ...  Note:  In version 1.0.0 and 1.0.1  the  emit-fcode  command 
disallows values
outside the range of user-assignable FCodes (0x800-0xFFF).  You may have 
to trick
it as follows:

[macro] my-funny-function  f[ 6 emit-byte 47 emit-byte ]f

In version 1.0.2  (available very soon)  the limitation on  emit-fcode  
will be opened up
to permit numbers in the full range of FCodes, 0x010 to 0xFFF  so the 
first version
will function as you desire.
