The issue there is that (IIRC) the relative branch opcodes haven't been
used since v20, and are marked as obsolete/slated for removal.  So, the
compiler would have to be altered to use long branches initially, with some
later phase replacing them with either relative or short absolute branch
codes currently emitted if applicable.  The trampoline extension wouldn't
require alterations to any construct that is already correctly compiled.
The other potential bonus of the trampoline approach is that it could be
used to "link" byte code vectors at some point in the future or provide a
form of compilation unit for byte-code.
