| 45 | <dd>Due to earlier changes to the compiler and the overall structure, |

| 46 | the Java class verifier would detect 'stack inconsistency' issues |
|---|
| 47 | in some specific cases. The refactoring should put an end to that. |
|---|
| 48 | In the short term, however, this change could have a slightly destabilizing |
|---|
| 49 | effect. Tests have been carried out, but no issues were found so far. |
