Although I do worry about what hotspot will do with my bytecode
(as you know),
I mostly try to think more abstractly about the JIT and
simply produce high-quality JIT-friendly bytecode.

Your considerations in 6933327 seem valuable,
but are targeted at only one runtime compiler,
on only one machine architecture.
