>> It also adds a new hybrid call generator to facilitate lazy intrinsification or else perform procedural inlining to prevent call overhead and boxing penalties in case the fallback implementation expects to operate over vectors. The existing vector API-based slice implementation is now the fallback code that gets inlined in case intrinsification fails.

Existing call generators like PredictedCallGenerator, used to handle bi-morphic inlining, already make use of multiple call generators to handle hit/miss scenarios for a particular receiver type. The newly added hybrid call generator is lazy and called during incremental inlining optimization. It also relieves the inline expander to handle slow paths, which can easily be implemented library side (Java).
