Sure it's not the slowest of instructions, but in the VM it's an extra jump
and for the Native part it either bloats the code or one has to jump out 
to supporting code subs in the VM. Considering the other call overhead
it's maybe a non issue but I think we should time current setup with a version
where we grovel the callee information from the program datastructure.

This is a characteristic of the callee -- more work is needed if there
are optional/kw args, but in the normal case you just have
assert-nargs-ee/locals which is very cheap, no?
