I'm not sure I understand what Moshe was proposing.  Moshe: are you
saying that we should change the way the compiler works, so that it
somehow recognizes this special case?  I'm not sure I like that
approach.  I think I want something more runtime-y, but I'm not sure
why (maybe just because I'm more comfortable mucking about in the
run-time than in the compiler).
