Comment (by duncan):

 So one thought that we were just mulling over in #ghc is...

 Use bytecode for the local modules in the current package. This already
 works for GHCi of course. We don't ''have'' to use the .dyn_o files. We do
 know when we start a `--make` job if we have any modules that use TH/QQ.
 If we do then we could turn on a mode "compile to bytecode in mem for all
 modules and spit out object code", a bit like the existing (albeit hacky)
 `-dynamic-too` flag.
