Okay. So you want to break out a separate code object from the main body, but it has to expect the exact same environment as the main body. Which means you cannot replace it with anything else, you cannot call it externally without constructing the exact same environment, and frankly, I cannot for the life of me see what you gain above just having it part of the body. You keep arguing in favour of having it be somehow separate, but to what end? Please. Go make a reference implementation. At least then we'll know what's possible and what's not.
