Why? As I understand, JIT (or whatever) is only a kind of extension to byte-code, not a replacement, so still full set of original byte-code should be supported. OTOH, JIT pass must be done over generated byte-code, not instead (at least this is how Java JIT works).

But anyway, even if it is platform dependent, it still would be useful (I don't care about interplatform compatibility and portability because I can enforce some platform requirements).
