This should only be temporary. If the right information is tagged in the
opcode library, then the JIT should be able to JIT the loaded ops (since
we do, after all, have to have the library loaded when we enter the
segment of code that uses the new ops. I don't mind just in time loading,
but I figure we ought to do it more than one or two ops before we execute
the new code. :)
