Details

We can sometimes generate instance calls for implementing some instructions. Notably, many bulk-memory instructions are implemented using instance calls. Some of these appear to never trigger a GC, so we may be able to avoid generating a stack map for them.

This would be a space optimization, and maybe a compiler speed improvement.
