I can see that compiling a module one set of declaration groups at a time 
won't be much fun but given the way you split modules into lists of 
declaration groups separated by top-level splices, it seems easy enough to 
know what to compile: 

  You have to compile all the code above the current top-level
  splice or declaration group.
