Tim Bray: All this is inefficient. So it might be worthwhile to add a new bytecode to the JVM to help with at least some of this choreography and housekeeping; especially since it doesn’t look like that bytecode would be very expensive to add.

If this idea holds up after a bit more thought there’d have to be a JSR so the whole community can kick it around, but it looks plausible.

Wow! I remember not too long ago Sun wouldn't add a bytecode even for Java.
