I had mentioned code polymorphism in my reply, but I removed it before posting because code polymorphism can still occur with a single compile-time. Yes, it's nightmarish, but it's not a reason for separating compile-time.

    Huh? A nightmare is not worth avoiding? Why is it no reason?

      I don't understand the confusion — it follows directly from the previous statement — so I throw the question back at you. If having a single compile doesn't prevent the nightmare, how can having a single compile be a reason for preventing the nightmare?

        It might not prevent the whole nightmare, but nearly all real-world usage cases. So it is a good reason for separating compile time and run time.
