Nancy Mazur did some work on this, see

Nancy and I did a prototype implementation that still needs to be
folded into the main compiler.  Nancy did some work on this recently,
but I haven't heard from her in awhile.  I would estimate that there
is about 1 months work to reintegrate all her work into the mainline
compiler.
