No, not necessarily at all. Mini-OOF does it with vectored execution
from a jump table, which with carnal knowledge of the specific
implementation can be made very quick indeed. So it can be optimized
to behave sufficiently efficiently in the interpreter that you just
compile those actions in the compiler. No state smarts required.
