that last paragraph was something of a red-herring, I almost edited it out, cuz it wasnt the core of the question. It was an artifact of my probing. The same-ness was between invocations of the same function, ie from main, of fancy() on lines 33, 34, and of auto() on 35, 36. I left it in cuz I wanted to preclude tips on closures.

my real issue is how to compile methods at 1st invocation and still have name munging - so that fancy_33 and fancy_34 are both built (which I can do) and called from the respective points in the caller code (which eludes me).

that said, closures may well be part of the answer, esp as they can capture all/most-of the customizations w/o client participation (ie args carrying the customization parameters) tia.
