Running :immediate subs

[kjstol]

Hi,

If I have read IMCCs source correctly, :immediate subs are executed
immediately after parsing.

So, not after all PIR source has been compiled into bytecode, but as soon as
a particular .sub is compiled, it's run immediately.

This is slightly different from compiling all PIR source into bytecode,
although I wonder whether there's any functional difference.

My question is: does anybody know of a functional difference, and would it
be acceptable to compile all PIR code into bytecode first, and /then/ run
all .subs marked as :immediate?

thanks,
kjs
