Yes, the protocol above would achieve that. The only thing is that the
bytecodes compiler is not always present in ECL (someone may choose to
deactivate it) and it is only a recent development, not available in the
latest stable release -- I should make one soon.

A way to check for it is to see whether INSTALL-BYTECODES-COMPILER is
fboundp.
