Let me start by saying that I know absolutely nothing about how ecj 
works, but...

Would it make any sense to add one or more hooks in the internals of ecj 
where we could add extra gcj/libgcj specific optimizers like 
StringBuffer optimizations?

Or is it preferable to do it as a separate pass over the byte code 
before compiling with jc1?

Or would it be better to just compile with jc1 and do the optimizations 
there?
