Nope.  Haven't worked on bytecodehacks in about 18 months.  It lost
it's appeal eventually.  It doesn't even work properly with Python
2.0, let alone what's in CVS.  It is surely easier to work with the
compiler package (and if it's not, I'm not sure what the point of it
is...).

It doesn't help that I don't really care about the proposed
optimization...

Cheers,
M.
