Bliss!  So a possible use of it would be something like this?

    mixed
    run_code(string str)
    {
	string result;
	object ob;

	ob = compile_object("some_silly_unique_name",
			    "mixed function() { return " + str + "; }");
	result = ob->function();
	destruct_object(ob);
	return result;
    }

I see a definite need for a wrapper around this to avoid name clashes
for throw-away objects, but that's easy enough to do. :-)

Erwin -- dreaming of compiling a lib from files that are really
         strings stored in objects, minor bootstrap problem ;-)
