I suspect out-of-line service functions would improve code density, but I also suspect the `BytecodeInterpreter::run` is so large, most non-trivial inlining fails. I'd need to do a much larger investigation if we can re-massage the code to maybe optimize it.

ok, I wasn't as worried about performance as much as I dislike looking at such a long function.  But I don't look at this often so it's up to you.
