perl6 creates a new instance of the perl compiler (presumably an

and disregard any 'require', 'use', or 'eval' statements.
use has the potentional to change the way the compiler
parses the code. So use needs to be regarded.
Conceptually, Yuval's mechanism could still work. It's just that,
when you go back and compile the 'use' lines, they may invalidate a
compilation unit you thought you were finished with.
