I agree with Moon's approach. If our strategy is to state that the
specification of compilation is a specification of a guaranteed way to
make conforming programs work correctly, but that other ways might work too,
then saying that the metaclass must be the same is the better thing. This
answers the question that ``compatible metaclass?'' asked.
