What does Latin have to do with Java, BGB?

No, just the names that do.

Yes, "i" instead of "y" endings are also usually feminine.

What does your hallucination have to do with Java, BGB?

Even the other suggestion involved a shift and mask, as well as a prior 
bit-test and branch in case of a thick lock in which event the vtable 
was one more indirection away, though branch prediction would take care 
of the latter handily for every method invocation not called inside of a 
critical section.

Doubles heap size, if you're suggesting what it sounds like you're 
suggesting.

Limits the heap to what the limit would be in a 32-bit VM.
