+Summary: [PATCH] Reduce initialization code in System.Reflection.Emit.OpCode
+
+2004-07-21  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>
+
+	This patch is based on an idea of Ben's to reduce the code size
+	in MCS. With this, I think we reduced a bit more than 2% of the
+	generated code size of MCS.
+
+	* OpCodes.cs: Instead pushing the data onto the stack when each
+	OpCode is initialized, move the data about the OpCodes into two
+	arrays and only keep an index into the arrays in each instance of
+	OpCode.
+
+	Furthermore, the names of each OpCode are stored in a separate
+	string array in the new OpCodeNames class, and everything else in
+	a one-dimension byte array called 'values' in the OpCodes class.
+
+	(OpCodeIndex) a new enum used to track the order of the 'values'
+	array, so we don't have to use magic numbers to index into the it.
+	
+	* OpCodeNames.cs: The names of each OpCode are moved here to delay
+	the initialization of the strings, as they are not used very
+	frequently.
+
+	* OpCode.cs: Rewrote this to only store an index into a table
+	stored in the OpCodes class.
+
+Aside: I never built with the 1.0 profile, so we lose the 1.0 opcode
+'boxval' with this patch. Is it important that we keep the 1.0 profile? If
+it is, I can go back and add that value in: it's just a pain because it
+means I need to go rearrange all the opcode index.
