What about creating a new Fiber for each module needing 
lexing/parsing/semantic to be ran?  Compilation of one module 
would then get as far as it can until it needs to defer, then 
calls yield() to continue compilation of the next module.  This 
in hope that when the round trip returns, the AST will be 
sufficiently complete enough for compilation to continue.
