Plus the technology of easily and quickly replacing a module compiled with
one set of choices by the module compiled with a different set of choices,
i.e the "melting ice" idea.
As a counter-example, Microsoft C++ can create p-code or native code. So
you can choose the space/speed most apprporiate. But they don't have a
"melting ice" capability for an interpreter-like behavior. Maybe someday?
