That's a matter of taste. For me one of the charms of Emacs is that
most objects have internal representations that I can inspect and
understand. Compiled functions are not like that, but when I need to
inspect a byte-compiled function foo-bletch that was defined in the
file foo.elc I can usually run (load "foo.el"), and this overrides the
byte-compiled foo-bletch with a non-byte-compiled version.

  Cheers,
