I was wondering... If softcall_initialise_class were given a
reference to the method that is calling it, it could re-JIT-compile
that method, so that, in this recompilation, the call to
initialise_class would not be included. It might represent a big
performance gain in a long-running application.
The re-compilation could be started in background, in a daemon thread
or such...
