I don't see the point. Your compiler can emit, e.g.:
"while"(test, body)
You provide an appropriate implementation of a default "while"
function, in your default namespace.
Whenever user code overrides the "while" word ("set while $foo" - or
some such - I dunno Tcl syntax details), you store_global the new
implementation as a compiled function into the same namespace (or as a
lexical).
Done.
