I should have qualified that statement with "except for the purpose of
supporting code change". Maybe it would be enough to, in addition to the
normal export declarations, also have a form of "private" export
declaration?

Anyhow, we need not distinguish between whether the call is done with
"spawn" or "apply", which I think was sort of my main point.
