I broke this when I renamed the primitive |_compile| to
|compile|.

Easy to fix, obviously, but there are several other
things wrong with that code that I want to address:

* |show| is one big macro rather than a small macro
that calls a function. One effect of this has been that
the the problem wasn't detected by our resolved
reference check.

* |show| duplicates functionality from the pipeline in
the implementation of |compile|.
