I don't think this is the best strategy. It seriously prevents all native type
optimizations. While 'Integer' should be MMD-distancewise close to 'int', it
should not be the same.
What native type optimizations? Using S, I, and N registers? If using
an I register is faster, wouldn't you want to unbox an Integer PMC and
use an I register anyway?
Is there a specific case you have in mind?
