I fail to see what atomic means in this context, it's too broad idea.
To me atomic would be: compile all in a certain sequence, then install all at once atomically.
And in this case, there is still a problem, because it would resolve installation order, not compilation order...

The idea of compiling class side first sounds good to me.
It's not atomic, but might just work.

No� we should make sure that MC loads the method first. I think it does that for #compilerClass
already (but not sure).


which is still doesn't eliminates problem completely, because nothing prevents me from having:

compilerClass
� ^ self otherMethod

and now in order to work,� MC have to know somehow that #otherMethod should also be loaded first.
But i think some prioritization guarantees would be really useful.
At least i think we can easily prioritize class-side compilation over instance side.
Like that, when you compiling any of instance-side method, you know that class side is already there (and can be used
as such in different kinds of hooks).

yes, we need atomic code loading.
