Good idea.. capital even... what would it be called Native Befunge? 
Direct Befunge?  or in the spirit of the variouse flaviors of the other 
dominant language...   Befunge<>  the idea being to tell the processor 
to go two directions at once which can only be properly executed in a 
Native Multiprocessor Befunge Machine  (NMBM). I swear Mr Whilliams, 
this is exactely what you need to improve the performance of Icarus!
