You mean redefining compile_object in the auto object? I think this would return
the right object, but with the wrong name, for example if you try compile_object
("/foo/bar") and /foo/bar.c exists, there would be no problem, but if it 
doesn't exist, it would return some object, but the object returned would be 
called "/foo/bing#345" or something like that. Is there a way around that?

Thank you for your answers, Steve.
