hmm, I'm not shure if it really would result in such a dramatic
invalidation and need for recompilation. HostMenus isn't imported
that often - "Search in sources" for "HostMenus" results in the
following hits:

Location Count
-------------------------------
Ole/Mod/Server.odc 22
Ole/Mod/Client.odc 19
Std/Mod/MenuTool.odc 11
Host/Mod/Menus.odc 4
Dev/Mod/Cmds.odc 3
System/Mod/Containers.odc 3
System/Mod/Init.odc 3
Dev/Mod/Dependencies.odc 2
Host/Mod/Windows.odc 2
Host/Mod/CFrames.odc 1

Moreover, if it is pure interface extension, it should
not invalidate any of these ...

regards
