Modified: docs parrot_assembly.pod
Log:
Registers are now stored in the interpreter structure itself, rather
than just a pointer to the top of the register structure. Pushes and pops
now involve memcpys, but register access has one fewer dereference.
Fails four of the register stack tests, though, so not perfect. Needs
fixing, but this is a good place to start.
