I confess to a high degree of ignorance about what current JIT compilers 
are capable of, but I'd be surprised if inlining is all they can accomplish.

Hmm. Seems to me private/public status can't matter that much if a JIT 
can inline setter/getters, since those typically access private data also.

Many moons ago I was peripherally involved in a project that was 
producing highly optimizing compilers for conventional programming 
languages. I seem to recall some discussion of being able to eliminate 
some heap allocations via dependency analysis, where one could sometimes 
detect that the heap object lifetime didn't extend beyond the invocation 
of the procedure that allocated it. Is this not possible with Java/JIT?
