[Ecls-list] "compiler called recursively" error

[Dorai Sitaram]

I find that ECL (and only ECL among the various CLs) will not allow compile-file's argument file to contain 

  (eval-when (:compile-toplevel) (compile-file "another_file"))

Why forbid something that is as harmless as this, and that is even useful as a way to have one call to compile-file trigger all the appropriate compilations of related files?
