+ 
+ \begin{funcdesc}{main}{\optional{args}}
+   Compile several source files.  The files named in \var{args} (or on
+   the command line, if \var{args} is not specified) are compiled and
+   the resulting bytecode is cached in the normal manner.  This
+   function does not search a directory structure to locate source
+   files; it only compiles files named explicitly.
+ \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ When this module is run as a script, the \function{main()} is used to
+ compile all the files named on the command line.
