Forced remapping of local variables

Hi all,

is it possible to "search-and-replace" the usage of a given local variable
through another (unoccupied) local variable throughout a method, using ASM? For
example, assume that the local variable with index 1 holds an integer, and I
want to store that integer in local variable 555 (assuming that 555 is
unoccupied while also some local vars between 1 and 55 are unoccupied). 

Of course, the parameters of ILOAD / ISTORE / IINC instructions need to be
adapted as well. Additionally, the WIDE instruction may need to be used,
depending on the localvar index. 

Is there an automated, "easy" way to do that using ASM? I tried to manually
replace localvar indexes inside ASMifier-generated code, but learned that the
dumped bytecode still groups localvars closer to the "bottom", ignoring my
instructions...

Any help will be appreciated :-)

Many thanks,

Michael Kuperberg
