-- Added several bytecode optimizations. Provides speed-ups to
- inverted in/is tests, inverted jumps, while 1 loops, and jumps to
- unconditional jumps.

-- Added a new opcode, NOP, which is used in some of the bytecode
- transformations.

- int(s, base) sometimes sign-folds hex and oct constants; it only
does this when base is 0 and s.strip() starts with a '0'. When the
sign is actually folded, as in int("0xffffffff", 0) on a 32-bit
