Has any Scheme implementor considered on-the-fly translation
of Scheme virtual machine byte-code to processor specific
code?  It seems to me this is a fairly straight-forward
task that will provide a considerable performance
improvement.  If someone has considered this idea and
rejected it, I'd like to know the reasons for it.  If
not, I'd like to plant the idea....

Thanks!
