   That's the byte-form `iinc`. Once the increment doesn't fit in a byte, 
`setWide()` switches to the wide form, and `wide iinc` takes a signed 16-bit 
const (constbyte1/constbyte2, second form of `wide`: 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-6.html#jvms-6.5.wide), 
which `dump` writes with `writeShort(c)`. So a signed short is the widest 
increment BCEL can emit; anything beyond it gets silently truncated by 
`writeShort`, which is what the guard rejects.
