The whole question of packfiles is something I hadn't approached before, and now that I have, I wonder: Why does a packfile needs to exist at all when compiling into the in-memory interpreter? There are some answers to that question I'd accept, but it's still a question that needs answering.
As for any further improvements, I fear they will have to wait for 0.4.7. PS: Cage cleaners should detect and possibly correct all that namespace pollution. Yuck. -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
