Except for the April 1 breakthrough at Stichting Mathematisch Centrum I
posted about on April 1 (also featuring high speed nanovirus resistant
whitespace circuitry :), I don't think anyone's worked on something like
that. I think the consensus is that the Python opcodes are too high
level to make this feasible.
