Once fused into super-instructions/adaptive instructions, does `disas` still allow users to manipulate the bytecode as if it were not optimized?

That'd be a very nice feature and I'm not sure it exists in other languages.

I haven't followed things recently but I know that at least initially they purposefully kept the bytecode intact so that existing debuggers and compilers and what not would still work. I believe they put the optimized bytecode in a different field, and accept this duplication as the cost of supporting the feature you requested.
