A decent interpreter would fix most of CTFE's performance problems, no
need to go as far as a JIT.
What is a JIT if not an interpreter with hardware support ?
Nah. It's a fundamentally different approach to the same problem. --

Not really when you think about it. CPU instruction is a bytecode like
another, with provided hardware interpreter for it.
Classical interpretation via tree walking does not use a bytecode. -- Andrei
