Absolutely! We used this technique quite effectively in Instantiations' Jove
whole program optimizer for Java
(http://www.wirfs-brock.com/allen/things/jove). However, it uses tables that
are precomputed based upon a static classification lattice and probably
wouldn't be very effective in an environment like JavaScript with a highly
dynamic set of set of potential classifications. However, it probably could be
applied to something like DOM objects that had a fixed static "class"
structure. Also, I believe that there is also related work on incrementally
updating the necessary tables.
