+Adds :opcode:`LOAD_SMALL_INT` and :opcode:`LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL` instructions.
+``LOAD_SMALL_INT`` pushes a small integer equal to the ``oparg`` to the stack.
+``LOAD_CONST_IMMORTAL`` does the same as ``LOAD_CONST`` but is more
+efficient for immortal objects.
+Removes ``RETURN_CONST`` instruction.
