It ought to be possible,

engine (and perhaps a GC).
For the sake of making sure everyone understands these vague terms in the same way, could you elucidate your sense of the boundaries between the VM and the execution engine, and why this is a sensible place for an abstraction barrier?
And feel free to offer diagrams... We'll have a website up Real Soon Now, and can also add a wiki for this kind of discussion
