However, in a file, it's when the file is initially loaded, before any code is evaluated. As such, you'd have to put your operator table modifications in a separate file, which then loads your other file. Inconvenient, but it's the only way to do this.

thanks for your quick response,
I wasn't aware that there is such a thing as compile time in an interpreted language. But thinking about it, it seems to make sense.
