What would also be nice is if you identified those instructions that can cause
null pointer exceptions and then turned asynchronous_exceptions off. Should
result in a nice reduction in the size of the exception related meta information
for the range based scheme. At least when compiling from bytecode, this is
actually not too hard to do; it's only a handful of bytecode instructions. I assume
it's also not hard when compiling from source.
