Hi Stepan

Sure... I was just thinking of my own requirements... but if the 
bytecode is extended, it should be done in a way to provide solution for 
the most of us and specially what you are requiring... I am also 
requesting  the support of unsigned integral (for the JVM not for Java!) 
and the support of integral underflow/overflow...
