Some possible optimizations:
Application:
If any of the operands are constant (either by being variable
lookups or literal constants), and if all of them are side-effect
free, then juggle-operands might not be necessary.
In a self-application, it's not necessary to compute the operator,
since the value is in the top control frame.
For a kernel primitive call, if all of the operands are all
constant or stack references, there's no need to push for fresh
stack space.
