Hm. Consider someone who has all his functions autoloaded (i.e. none
defined in .zshrc or other init files) and doesn't use kshautoload.
With the current state he can do `zcompile -ca all-funcs' to write them
all into one file. If we disallow compiling both already-loaded and
not-yet-loaded functions `in the same pass', it is impossible to do
that if at least one of the functions happens to be loaded already.

At least until we add a helper function that allows merging wordcode
files, like the one you suggested a while ago.

Bye
 Sven
