From my conversation with lispm above, I discovered that each binary SBCL produces includes the compiler as well. This is what is meant by incremental compilation I get it. When I first heard the term incremental compilation, I thought of a process like going through the ast couple of times and evaluating expressions. This wasn't what it meant. Now it makes sense. You include the lisp compiler in each binary. For parts you cannot evaluate at compile time, you compile at runtime, just like a JIT.
