Certainly not trivial, but if someone wanted to work on that, it would be a good idea to look at projects that have at least created a prototype, e.g.:

NextGen produces code that is binary-incompatible with existing java compilers. It also does not support separate compilation; generic libraries and their clients must be compiled together. But I agree that, as a starting point, it is much better than nothing.
