Yeah, I've been using this trick to implement a hot reload library, to only update the specific functions that are changed without re-executing modules: https://github.com/breuleux/jurigged I also use it in a multiple dispatch library (https://github.com/breuleux/ovld) to replace the entry point by specialized dispatch code in order to cut some overhead. It's fun. Also, why is every damn post these days somehow framed in an AI context? It's exhausting.
