Whow. Really! A true hacker :)

[examples of usage]

Partially, yes. This is as far as one can go without
extending the interpreter. The next step would be
to break into the API, freeze types, and so on...

I'm really impressed. No, what is ugly about that?
Don Beaudry's functor module comes into mind.
Not fiddling bytecodes, but the techniques are nearly 
as "insane" as yours. Do you think that functors
could be sped up with your bytecode art?
I think a good trick is never ugly if written with
elegance.

I will try some more with your code and contact you by
private email.
