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...
