   To keep the optimizer simple, it bails out (does nothing) for code
   containing extended arguments or that has a length over 32,700.  That
   allows us to avoid overflow and sign issues.  Likewise, it bails when
   the lineno table has complex encoding for gaps >= 255.

   Optimizations are restricted to simple transformations occuring within a
   single basic block.  All transformations keep the code size the same or
   smaller.  For those that reduce size, the gaps are initially filled with
   NOPs.  Later those NOPs are removed and the jump addresses retargeted in
   a single pass.  Line numbering is adjusted accordingly. */
