  58.  * Wrapper class for `compound' operations, virtual instructions that

  59.  * don't exist as byte code, but give a useful meaning. For example,

  60.  * the (virtual) PUSH instruction takes an arbitray argument and produces the

  61.  * appropiate code at dump time (ICONST, LDC, BIPUSH, ...). Also you can use the

  62.  * SWITCH instruction as a useful template for either LOOKUPSWITCH or

  63.  * TABLESWITCH.

  64.  *

  65.  * The interface provides the possibilty for the user to write

  66.  * `templates' or `macros' for such reuseable code patterns.
