I think I this idea largely formed years ago when I was working with c++ 
on 8bit micros. You won't believe the amount of code size one can save 
by using one separate generic save-it-all-then-load-it-all prolog/epilog 
for all functions (and esp ISRs).

Let's hack the compiler ;)
BTW I think it should be possible to apply the idea on the IR level not 
on the actual machine code.
