I'm 99% positive that it's possible to define a class loader in java that
creates bytecodes on the fly. The JVM does lazy code validation on methods
that it executes anyway, so it would catch any potential hazards before
they were executed. I don't think you can modify the code of a method after
it has been loaded, however.
