The problem with making small changes to the existing interpreter is you
will wind up reimplementing all of it. You can certainly choose to keep
the existing bytecodes so existing user code will run under it, but many
of the limitations are part of the basic design.
If you are going to wind up reimplementing it, the question what does
compatibility with that existing user code buy you versus perhaps
compatibility with other tools and more extensive functionality?
