I was curious about this, if the compiler was overhauled and it could be made
multi-threaded could it compile each unit on a different thread? Maybe it would
be complicated but if a unit graph was constructed you could isolate units
that don't depend on each other and compile them on their own threads right?
If I recall this is impossible currently because of the use of global
variables.
