FWIW, I agree.  The only issue I can see here is that depending on how
it's done, it could affect the size of the .elc files (by using two bytes
per bytecode 0 rather than 1).  Nothing too terrible, but it's probably
worth checking whether it does make such a difference and if so how serious
it is.
