I have doubts as to whether this would do better than a good peephole
optimizer for the 6502.

The 6502 instruction set is fairly small and orthagonal; there just aren't
that many different ways to do most of the things that people are going to
want to do.

Of course, I'd love to see someone prove me wrong.
