  | It's wasteful and not particularly useful to have

  | equivalent form from the compiled function definition.

I actually much prefer to see the shell regenerated form - if I want the
original I have the sources, but seeing the shell "reverse compiled" form
gives a different perspective to the code, and sometimes allows bugs to be
made obvious which get hidden by the formatting of the original.
