Compiling to bytecode files

Is there a way to create compiled bytecode files from Nashorn, so that 
Nashorn can reuse them?

The issue is that I'm working right now on integrating Nashorn into 
Scripturian:

Scripturian is an alternative to JSR-223 that support various 
high-concurrency features. One thing it can do is cache source files to 
avoid re-parsing or re-compilation. In Rhino, I can create class 
bytecode for me that I can store in files and then simply load the next 
time the code needs to be accessed. Specifically, Rhino has a interface 
named org.mozilla.javascript.GeneratedClassLoader that lets me reload 
the bytes.

Is there anything like this in Nashorn? Following the source code 
through the Compiler class led me nowhere...
