There is also a fix to the ParseTreePrinter so that it knows how

about references to nonexistant dependency functions.
Downcasting to
Object makes the compiler *less* strict and accepting of any
function name.
The output from the simple dependency given above has been tested
to
compile with flex2 as a proof of concept.
FWIW, The flex compiler has the same loophole that we have in our swf
compiler to get around checking. To call a dynamic function or access
a dynamic value, instead of:
foo.bar()
you write:
foo['bar']()
In other words, using `[]` to access members instead of `.` turns off
the compiler optimization (which results in the compiler complaint).
Eventually we will want to tweak the generator to not use the cast or
`[]`, because these dependency functions _should_ all be known at
compile time.
