But all of Chambers stuff is quite different as I recall because they don't
accept the existence of `whole program'.  Self lets you add code as the system
is running.  Thus they don't even have a notion of compile time different from
run time.  If I recall, all of their stuff is thus more like profile-directed
compilation, but it isn't profiling but the actual running system.
