If at any point you felt inclined to formalise and document the LJ2
bytecode, it might be interesting as a target for other languages
(assuming the bytecode is any easier to use than just emitting Lua, of
course).

In particular, if it turned out to be possible to bolt a Dalvik front
end to the LJ2 backend, I'm pretty sure that you *would* end up ruling
the world.
