That said, I cannot think of a case where it would *harm* if the
dependency analyzer, if it can actually prove a dependency, serializes
the code.

Thus, the same metadata can be used in both cases, if one doesn't care
the possible wasted compilation time spent on the unnecessary dependency checking.
