What about having a configuration with a prerequisite package setting up options ? Or optimisation tuning in one of the preload script of the package ?

We already have ways to tune that; wouldn't they be better than setting a not so clear class before instance ordering (and what if the class itself requires that kind of tuning?).

    No… we should make sure that MC loads the method first. I think it
    does that for #compilerClass
    already (but not sure).


which is still doesn't eliminates problem completely, because nothing
prevents me from having:

compilerClass
  ^ self otherMethod

and now in order to work,  MC have to know somehow that #otherMethod
should also be loaded first.
But i think some prioritization guarantees would be really useful.
At least i think we can easily prioritize class-side compilation over
instance side.
Like that, when you compiling any of instance-side method, you know
that class side is already there (and can be used
as such in different kinds of hooks).


yes, we need atomic code loading.
