Yes, perhaps something similar to C's .o files would be good.
That is, large libraries can be made in an intermediate IL-like form,
so that it's *much* quicker to load them into the program.
When you run a program with the interpreter the first time, it
generates .o files for each library you include, and starts the
program. The next time it's run, it sees that the .o files already
exist (and they're up-to-date) so it just reads in the .o files and
runs.

It'd certainly make things a lot quicker. I know it doesn't sound as
simple, but the extra step wouldn't affect programmers adversely,
because the interpreter would do everything.

Think of it as 'caching'.

Rob, your thoughts?
