"trampoline" code? what is this? Do you mean a 'thunk' (this term has
been around a very long time, please dont invent new ones), which is
code constructed in data space, and then executed ?

Many computer languages depend on this capability, via the stack and/or
heap. While we are at it, would we also have to prevent runtime
constructed code from executing within heapspace (allowed on some
systems) ??? I see little distinction here...
