Oh, I see.  But as you found out...

...right, the bytecode frontend still uses rtl inlining.  Plus, a single
invocation of jc1 may need both, since it's legal to compile a class file
together with java source at once.

I'm also readying a patch for unit-at-a-time which might add a wrinkle.  I
believe Andrew's working on converting the bytecode reader to
functions-as-trees.  That might be worth having for 3.4.
