:func:`compile` function, because the Python interpreter itself already
provides the option: :program:`python -O -m compileall`.
+Similarly, the :func:`compile` function respects the :attr:`sys.pycache_prefix`
+setting. The generated bytecode cache will only be useful if :func:`compile` is
+run with the same :attr:`sys.pycache_prefix` (if any) that will be used at
