Indeed; if A inherits B and you recompile B, A must be automatically 
recompiled. Writing a system to keep track of these dependencies is one 
of the first things anybody has to do who sets out to write a persistent 
library on top of DGD.

It works exceedingly well. We have uptimes in excess of four years, and 
we rip out and replace fundamental public API's constantly. Once this 
sort of thing is in place, it's hard to imagine anything else. I don't 
see how genuine persistence beyond a few months is possible without it.
