An excellent example. You don't *need* to control Tcl's bytecode
compiler from the outside, because *Tcl gets it right without help*.
It takes care of the function-text-to-derived-form dependency
internally: when you redefine the function, the internal form is
discarded and rebuilt. You don't have to worry about it.
What everyone else is telling you is that we should strive to do the
same, not punt and make the user tell us when to recompile.
