I agree. But that alone may not be enough to support dynamic languages.
In the Pure JIT I often need to be able to replace the IR of the body of
an already lowered function and generate new code for it. This also
needs to be fast, so recompiling the entire module when this happens is
not an option. Will this be possible with MCJIT?
