It doesn't really matter.  There are two reasons.  1) We've been
working on the new compiler code in newcompile.c, rather than
compile.c.  When it is finished, we'll replace compile.c with
newcompile.c, but it was helpful to have both around at first.
2) Peephole optimizations would be done on the basic block
intermediate representation rather than code objects.  So we'll need
to rewrite it anyway to use the new IR.
