It isn't that I think the code changes are going to be huge, just that
even in the basic case they're not as trivial as "reduces to noticing
that a particular type slot is NULL at the C level" makes them sound.
The shift from 'control flow operation' to 'binary operator' is fairly
substantial, even if the changes are isolated to a couple of new
opcodes and the code generation for a couple of AST nodes.

Cheers,
Nick.
