instances  How do you know that Hotspot does an excellent job of
eliminating ABC's? Sun does not tell us the means by which it
determines whether ABC's can be eliminated, nor do they provide
a mechanism telling us where ABC's have successfully been
eliminated (which would allow us to do some reverse engineering
and figure out in what scenarios ABC's can be eliminated)...
this leads to a question:  Can code be written in a way which
would make the compiler better able to eliminate ABC's? I'm not
quite sure what this would entail, but I'm curious as to whether
or not it can be done.
