Compile Ruby Code?

Great work with JRuby and the opening up of platform coverage. I was 
looking at JRuby as a means of protecting Intellectual Property ie. 
distributing compiled or byte code instead of source code. But it 
appears that JRuby is an interpretor only, at the moment anyway.

Are there any plans to create a ruby bytecode pre-compiler?

Many thanks, K.
