The downside of doing this is that the debugger will be broken on older VMs.
Which ones ?
None of the officially released interpreter VMs contain mirror primitive support.
Mirror primitive support is present in the source code (VMMaker) for the interpreter VM and has been tested to the extent that it passes the unit tests. Presumably this means that the debugger changes will work with a newly build interpreter VM, although I cannot confirm this.
If the image support can be added in the manner suggested by Andreas, that would be great. Otherwise, maybe not so good.
