But then whatever is in the fast path and `fooHasCertainStaticProperties` are
never profiled because never executed by the interpreter or c1. So
`fooHasCertainStaticProperties` will likely not be inlined and c2 will do a
poor (or rather not as good as you'd like) job of compiling whatever is in the
fast path.
