Sorry I'm not totally sure how to interpret "compiled" here ;-)

Unlike pre-compiled code (by an outside compiler) the security checks
for generated code are done when expressions are compiled (not at JIT or
execution time). Also JB found out that the (visibility) rules are not
totally identical (see test cases).
