Comment(by tibbe):

 I don't think anyone is working on this.

 Simon, last time I tried I got stuck not understanding how to properly
 emit an inline heap check using the helper module for heap stuff. Is it
 now easier with the new codegen? It's a tiny bit frustrating knows how the
 code I want to emit looks like (it's an if and a jump more or less!) but
 not being able to generate that code.
