I think something like this would need a -XoptForSize, because I believe it
could impact startup time. There's a somewhat similar proposal here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/PrototypeChainingOptimization
Keep in mind that's likely that "function Foo(){}" is likely reduced by gzip
to a very small size, since the deflate algorithm encodes repeating keywords
like 'function' and '(){}' as pointers to previous occurences, and
"function" would be replaced by Huffman coded symbols.
