For the lazy who just want to know if this makes Python faster yet, this is foundational work to enable later improvements:
> The initial benchmarks show something of a 2-9% performance improvement.
> I think that whilst the first version of this JIT isn’t going to seriously dent any benchmarks (yet), it opens the door to some huge optimizations and not just ones that benefit the toy benchmark programs in the standard benchmark suite.
