I think it's essential to have LOAD-TIME-VALUE, including
the non-read-only data feature, because the underlying machine
is capable of providing me efficiency which I claim I need
for certain very important applications, and because all of the
alternatives which have been discussed force me to pay a
gratuitous space and/or time penalty that this facility does
not force me to pay.
