[Fwd: Re: Enhance footprint for array initialization]

[John Rose]

Hi, Ulf.  I whitelisted you on the mailing list, since you are not  
yet a member and it was blocking you.

You probably want to join, in order to receive any responses from the  
group.

JSR 292 is discussing bytecode modifications.  Array init. is outside  
the scope of JSR 292, so I don't know if we can do anything there in  
the current round of changes.

But, at least, someone should prototype a mechanism as a subproject  
of mlvm.  That's what mlvm is for:  It is an incubator for new JVM  
ideas.
