/**
* Wrapper class for `compound' operations, virtual instructions that
* don't exist as byte code, but give a useful meaning. For example,
* the (virtual) PUSH instruction takes an arbitray argument and produces the
* appropiate code at dump time (ICONST, LDC, BIPUSH, ...). Also you can use the
* SWITCH instruction as a useful template for either LOOKUPSWITCH or
* TABLESWITCH.
*
* The interface provides the possibilty for the user to write
* `templates' or `macros' for such reuseable code patterns.
