Yes, that's exactly it. Given a script like this:

  alias x=:
  x

Sourcing it without zcompile works (`x` on the second line is
alias-expanded), but once the script is zcompiled an attempt to source
it results in an error (`x` doesn't get expanded).

I looked at the source code of zcompile and I understand why this
happens. It makes perfect sense when zcompiling functions. It is,
however, surprising when zcompiling scripts.
