Well, at least what I've seen is a level 3 polymorphism, due to the fact that
you don't perform instrucction mixing, but block mixing which is quite
different.

Don't get me wrong, I love to see this kind of source and I'm a great fan of
polymorphic engines :) Just making a note that your approach needs a little
bit more of tweaking :)
