My assumption would be something closer to Michele's solution -- the parser would create a new type of AST node, and the compiler would emit slightly different bytecode, but no new op-codes would be needed.

Why would a new type of AST node be required? Wouldn't these just be a special symbol, like debug? Or does debug have its own AST node type now?
