Sigh - it does matter to us where it starts - we do quickening internally using 
the higher ranges and our code knows about
ranges for “real” java byte codes vs internal byte codes.

If it is possible we would appreciate the lower numbers since the higher 
numbers would slow down our range checking.

thanks,
Karen
