Too bad that they didn't do it in the article, then. I guess it isn't "common wisdom" enough.

The main point of the paper is to show that runtime metaprogramming can be optimized with a classic JIT-compilation technique. After one sees it, it's kind of trivial, but it isn't done in common VMs.
Don't be disingenuous in the process.
I see you've changed the opening "Metaprogramming" to "Runtime metaprogramming", which is better IMO.
