does .dot-sourcing a set of functions compile these into MSIL?

I understand that the functions are loaded into memory but I'm not sure
whether they are loaded as PS script: what appears when you type

dir function:<Func Name> | fl -property Definition


or whether the actual function that you invoke has been processed to IL

just curious

It will be added the function list as if you typed it directly into the shell.

No, they are just pre-parsed. This pre-parsing is handy because you can
then check your script for parse errors like so:

& { . .\funcs.ps1 }

Thats want I thought (not what I had hoped) . I guess this is one an
incentive for writting a cmdlet rather than a function if the script is large
