If there is a significant gain to be had here, all it would take is a TIP
to provide limited support for the assembler. The 'unsupported' is there
because we don't guarantee that the bytecode language is stable - we're
free to change it for performance reasons, or indeed for any other good
reason. Anything adopted to the Core is free to use whatever internal APIs
the maintainers choose.
