Just to follow up on this.  I implemented this by packing all my files
into a randomly-named module.  ie. My files are compiled using the
-pack/-for-pack options as submodules of 'Jobs__<time>' where <time>
is the current time_t.  The top (randomly named) module is then loaded.

This works fine in both bytecode and native code.

The code is here:
