   There are a few features that aren't tested yet, and not all opcodes may be
   fully supported.  Notably, the following features are NOT reliably supported
   yet:
   
   * Wide jump addressing (for generated bytecode>64K in size)
   
   * The ``dis()`` module in Python 2.3 has a bug that makes it show incorrect
     line numbers when the difference between two adjacent line numbers is
     greater than 255.  This causes two shallow failures in the current test
     suite when it's run under Python 2.3.
   
   If you find any other issues, please let me know.
