It's a brilliant tool, bravo!
Why did you go down that road instead of heap snapshot? Portability?

Conceptually, Prepack would go together well with heap snapshots, as Prepack figures out what is the concrete heap, and what are residual computations. If we tweak Prepack to completely separate these two aspects in the generated code, then you'd heap snapshot after the concrete part has been build, and still run the fixup code at runtime.
