That should be easy to change.

This is why I said the GC should do it. It should be able to find all
references.

When the GC finds a Lisp_Object that points to a subr we want to unload,
it should replace it with one that points to its bytecode equivalent version.

You are right. I hadn't considered this. It can still be done, but would need to
wait until the function finishes.
