I couldn't figure a way to do it that doesn't use at least 8 bytes per vector. Of course, the vectors >= 32 are never interesting, so 256 bytes of dispatch table could cover it. Anyway, I think it's fine just to have the patch on hand to enable for a particular debugging session, which is what I wrote it for. Maybe it could be a config option.
