Here is an idea for a calling convention that supports unboxed floats:

This is pretty cool. I've often wanted to be able to do that. I haven't looked at your code yet, but I was wondering how this compares with block compilation. I'm pretty sure block compilation allows functions to jump directly to the no-arg-parsing entry point, so unboxed objects can be passed directly from the caller to the callee. Functions not in the block-compilation block can still call those functions, but those callers use the regular entry point. Ray
