  Btw, this is a bad idea. It ties the hands of the developers.
It would make it impossible to change and improve the format of the
bytecode without breaking existing libraries.

  It would work if the bytecode format could be PERFECTLY designed on
the very first try, and then fixed and engraved in stone. However,
developers are imperfect humans, so it's not gonna happen.
