Let's say that you do. Given how short it is, it would just get inlined.
Your call of mysum ("a", "b") would indeed not use IADD, nor would it be
a call. It would potentially not invoke any operators, but instead get
replaced with "ab".
When you have a tracing JIT, you can do away with a lot of overhead. You
can inline functions, variables, do away with typechecks, and many other
things. This holds true even if that JIT never emits a single byte of
machine code.
