The other time when bytecode is convenient is to package all your
dependencies into one file which is guaranteed not to conflict with
various other tools broken inclusion of AstroLib/MPFit/etc. (I know
people have 5 versions of MPFit from ~2000 via recent releases of
tools which "bundle" it -- ouch). If everything is in a single sav,
and they load it, they'll be in fine shape.
