Well, we know already that we are generating code that the JVM will
happily and safely eat since we can arrive at the same situation by
applying the AOP transform after compiling parent and child. So, I have
no worries about validity as far as the current transformation code
stands -- of course, given this much rope we could still screw up later :-)

And here's me wanting to get stuck into the hotspot code for the last 6
months without having been able to find the time. Anyway, thanks for the
invitation -- I'll see what works and contribute a patch if I need and
am able to.
