Byte Code Compilation

A byte code file typically uses the file extension .zo. The file starts with a regular Scheme expression to test MzScheme's version, then the expression is followed by #` and the bytecode data.

Byte code files are loaded into MzScheme in the same way as regular Scheme source files (i.e., with load). The #` marker causes MzScheme's reader to load byte codes instead of normal Scheme expressions.
