The compiler backend in question currently generates .il but no .dll or .exe 
files. That's why I was thinking about calling Mono ilasm as a library 
(requiring no restart across invocations, which would require Mono ilasm to 
avoid static state) .

Now that you mention System.Reflection,

Not everyone uses System.Reflection. The list goes on.
