"use" semantics

2008-12-27 Thread Jeff Horwitz
h a module to bytecode, which i like to do for startup performance. i realize that "use" needs to load modules early, but i think there needs to be a distinction so such modules aren't executed out of context. maybe there's an obvious way around this, maybe this is a new edge case. thoughts? -jeff
