Quoted from the article.
"Note a very important difference here—you did not need to recompile the
procedure;"
There are two examples in the article one in which you do have to recompile
and one in which you don't. Assuming the example works as stated and
thinking about this some more I am inclined to think that the "$if $else"
code only executes when the package is loaded into memory for a given
session. If the flag is changed in the other package then the other package
is invalidated and must be revalidated again. I might have to create a
couple test cases.

Conditional compilation eliminates sections from the compiled code

Debug=F until you recompiled your source code.
