Sure there is; is just doesn't contain the trampolines.  Moreover, I don't
think anyone is talking about self-modifying code -- we're talking
about code that generates other code and then later executes it.
Once generated, the code is never modified.

My main problem with the technique, though, is that sometimes the
read-only code space is the *only* code space, especially in
secure applications.
