Well, it won't be stable after we take a roto-tiller to the code. We'd
have to expand fields in the compiler when we build it (and hope we get the
sign-extensions correct). You can't be suggesting we now make all our
fields in internal data structures be run-time sized with run-time
offsets?!? Yeah, that'll be stable... not...
