While I wouldn't be in favor of this solution either, it would imply
that C++ routines also have to have the same implicit stackLimit
parameter as Java routines.  Thus you would not break the Java/C++
compatibility by doing this;  instead, you'd be modifying the
calling convention (ABI) for (potentially) *all* languages.
(For binary compatibility, you might have an option to only use
the modified ABI for "Java" routines.)
