How does one compile 3 files "at the same time" and generate 3

Huh, I didn't know that. I guess I've always used the `-of`
option. Unsurprisingly, so does reggae. Which means that
incremental compilation is no longer an issue.
Aside from the template instantiation issue, I don't see how
doing a package at a time is better than compiling exactly
those files that need to be compiled.
There have been threads about this before. It turns out that
compiling per file is usually slower than compiling the whole
package/app at once. It's not intuitive, but it's true (I
measured it myself). reggae has an option to compile per-file but
I haven't used it since switching to per-package once.
