one use of a dump type of thing (if it could be made to work) is for the
Perl without perl idea that schwern asked about. this would then be a
form of perlcc without paying for it. i agree that it should be a module
that can be loaded to create a preloaded binary image which can be run
directly.
but dump isn't the way to go as it is broken, you need a flaky undump
program (from emacs), it is not portable, etc.
