Thanks for the quick response, exactly what I wanted. Only thing I'm
not entirely comfortable with is:

What if this sets a variable like Compile_Default_Compiler? Granted,
you probably see it at the top of your file, but often you'll quickly
scroll to the piece of the code you wanted to look at, and not see the
first part of the file at all..

Then again, maybe I'm a bit too paranoid.
