 My current idea for the in memory format of the bytecode is this:

I would strongly urge any file-based byte-code format to arranged
in such a way that it (or most of it) can simply be mmap-ed in (RO),
analogously to executables.

This is the way the bytecode currently works, and we will *not* switch to any bytecode format that doesn't at least allow the executable code to be mmapped in.
