I thought about different semantics for defined_function_hook and 
declared_class_hook to just load all "lazy" function/classes into 
regular ZE tables.

It's also possible to pass hash_values into lookup_function_hook and 
lookup_class_hook to don't calculate them twice.

I'll return to you in a day or two (after playing with patch and 
measuring speed difference) to be more concrete.

Thanks. Dmitry.
