Yes, but the devil is in the details… e.g. just compressing per method is not
good enough, we need to share the compression
dictionary. Another interesting thing is that we have the symbols already in
the system, thus we do not need to store all those
strings again.
Of course my dream would be some AST-like representation that is a) compressed
(decompressed on the fly) and good enough
to present a text view to the human.
