No path problems are needed. Without the compile_opt, if a name is
used by a variable and there is no function with that name already
compiled, IDL will assume it is a variable name, and will not try to
find a function to compile. But if a compiled function uses a name,
any references to the name will be interpreted as function calls,
ignoring a variable of the same name, regardless of when the variable
was defined.
