Yup, and I really, really don't like the idea of making our bytecode

right?
The described mapping doesn't have any PBC portability issues AFAIK. If
'L' is mapping to 'I' or not is chosen at runtime.
Wouldn't the required re-writing blow away the wins we get through mmap'ing
in bytecode files? Not that JIT doesn't hurt a little there anyway, but at
least you can choose not to do that if you care about memory usage more than
speed...
