Yes, we could do that but the problem is that we also need to push NULL before the uncommon trap if
we continue execution at the next bytecode (because the NULL result needs to be available on the
stack for re-execution, see line 556 and 585). Since we need to do that right before the uncommon
trap and only if trap_bci != -1, we would still need to pass trap_bci to load().

Thanks,
Tobias
