This partly addresses Shopify#462.
When "compile-time stack-top values are fixnums?" can be answered from the type info in

, this PR skipsdefer_compilation
.As investigated in Shopify#462 (comment), it's not supposed to have a huge impact on the number of blocks. However, as I started experimenting with register allocation, targeting only intra-block allocation as a first step, I noticed even very simple blocks are split now. Supporting this is useful for that first milestone and I figured the implementation is not that complicated.
Impact
It does have a small impact though. It eliminates some unneeded blocks on railsbench, reducing Rust memory consumption from 9.01MB to 9.00MB.
