There appears to be some stage that you can put the image / source file
into where if you try to look at the definitions of a class, it
comes back saying that you can't look at source code. My problem is
that in the cases that this has happened to me, I *haven't* wanted it
to happen. (I use V/286). On the other hand, if your goal is
information hiding, and preventing users from mucking around with
your code, that seems to be an effective way of doing it.
