Regarding the ByteCode and the AssemblyCode

Hi @mflatt

The news regarding the new VM is awesome - thanks !!

Regarding the zo files, might I suggest that since instead of fully-expanded source we can peer into how the GuileVM works with Assembly Code and the reversible Byte Code

I'm not entirely sure whether this would be necessary, given that nanopass already desugars a lot of stuff but still we can have the older zo files move to a similar format?

I think this is at a level where we want to just use the facilities that Chez already provides – at first, anyway. I don't know in the long run.

@dansto Targeting other platforms, like graalvm, is certainly a long-term goal. For our first step in that direction, though, no other VM is as close a match to Racket as Chez Scheme.
