The idea is simple: change the byte code argument values from two

Interesting. Have you seem Cesare Di Mauro's WPython project, which
takes the opposite strategy?

The two strategies could be mixed. Some 'word codes' could consist of a
bytecode + byte arg, and others a real word code. Maybe WPython does
that already. Might end up being slower though.
