beach: when you say "sicl production code" I think I know what you mean. But: what do you mean?

The source code of stuff that will run in the final system, as opposed to special code written for the purpose of bootstrapping.

OK. Are you trying to delay loading as much prodcode as possible until after the knot is tied?

(because you're going to have to compile it later anyway?)

although i don't know if it applies to prod, i think one goal was to use common code for as many envs as possible

In a way, yes. I am not trying to avoid loading production code before. I am trying to avoid having specific bootstrapping code.

I will load as much code as needed to tie the knot, but I do want to tie the knot as early as possible.

Yes, at some point (soon) I will factor the bootstrapping code so that I can reuse it in several phases.
