I'm thinking about how the creation of a zwc file, and it's subsequent 
use could
be considered to be part of the same builtin.  One being the 'inverse' 
of the other.

autoload --make-zwc /Functions/Functions.zwc /Functions/*
autoload --load-zwc /Functions/Functions.zwc

... it wouldn't take long to understand.

It's very relevant to what degree veterans like yourself use stuff. I'd 
provisionally
conclude that if you don't use it, then I don't want it.  There's more 
to be learned
from seeing how masters actually use a tool than from reading the tool's 
manual.
The book I'd long to read would be: "A *practical* guide to zsh".
