         * [x] update that declaration to a definition after compiling the function...
         * [x] but BEFORE we close over any upvalues, so the function will be an upvalue for itself
     - I suspect this can be done not using anything other than an index into a chunk's `constants` vec--no fancy memory swapping or anything; and also--done in the compiler rather than the VM.
