I think it's better to defer to a different PR. We need to find the correct way to communicate the ops to the compiler pipeline. Probably the best way to do this would be the creation of "shim" AST ClassDef nodes, which have nested shim MethodDef, as needed. These method defs will not have a body, but will have an "op" instead. Then Gen will recognize these, and skip the visit. And ClassWriter can probably use BytecodeGenerator to emit the bytecode for these methods in the context of the enclosing class that it will generate.
