this one could be made faster by adding a #accessesField: method on
CompiledMethpd to not have to call
both readsField: and writeFiled (and thus decode the byte code twice on no
match).
But in general the approach of searching all byte code will be slow.
One idea I always liked is to invest into some general “indexing”
infrastructure… search indexes take memory, but
they could be build on need and flushed when not used.
