Thanks, I forgot to mention the link.

Yeah, I see that. However, I think that a JIT compiler could very well
re-use the information gathered by using my techniques to generate
better code in the first run. There certainly are a couple of other
benefits for combining both approaches, i.e., they are not mutually
exclusive.

I am currently not aware of the planned release schedule, but I think
that some of the techniques could very well be released in 3.2 -- with
a conditional compilation target similar to the computed-goto feature.
