Agreed. Looks more efficient for JIT to do the metainfo checking to inline
fast helper or else call the slow helper. No need to set additional bit etc.
For correctness, I presume here JIT == any ExecutionEngine,
interpreter included. Otherwise this checking cannot be moved out of
GC, as Xiao-Feng pointed.
