That it can be done doesn't mean that it should be required. I seem to remember
Chez being image-based, which makes the problems of procedure serialization less
of a problem than it might be for otehr compilers.
In any case, it imposes an extra burden on compilers, may cause a debugging
nightmare, and, as I argued in another note, seems the wrong thing to do since
it confuses levels and doesn't play well with modules.
