Are java bytecodes well suited for doing optimizations? They don't seem
to me to be a great choice for an intermediate language.


Actually you seem to be recommending a final target output rather than
an intermediate language.

I tried searching for PCode references a few years back and didn't
come up with much. Could you provide a pointer or two?
