And boy was that annoying when we (ArsDigita) wanted to cache .tcl page
bytecode, because .tcl pages are normally executed with the "source"
command, which doesn't compile. We ended up taking advantage of the
fact that "for" (in Tcl_ForObjCmd) compiles its first argument, e.g.
for [util_file_contents_cached $filename] {0} {} {}
...compiles the string returned by util_file_contents_cached.
