"Just Curious" VM question

Of course, the best VM's are compiling methods to native code, and they
can "cache" by putting if-statements into the code.  In pseudocode:

	if class == blah
	then call primFooZap
	else call regular_method_lookup


I would imagine Jitter can be adapted to work like this.
