Turns out I didn't have any longer responses to other items in the
thread.

Here are some other items:

- IIRC, 'bsr' and 'ret' were to be deprecated/removed -- is that
  still the case?  I don't see a note in DEPRECATED about them.

- I don't think the 'class' opcode is needed any longer; use 'typeof'.

- I'm not sure what the purpose of 'get_repr' is, or if anyone is using it.
