Description
The single-pass implementation of COMPILE-FILE has several drawbacks:
- Only backward referenced function calls can be inlined (since forward referenced functions are unknown at the time of compilation)
- It's much harder to build an fasl-literal-object table with objects being referenced multiple times in the fasl; we need this item for compliance with section 3.2.4.4 of the CLHS

The compliance mentioned in item (2) requires not only making class generation multi-pass, but additionally to do 'pre-scanning' of the objects to be serialized, in order to initialize the circularity tables for dump-form to generate the structure 'anchors' #n= and #n#.
