As far as I know, the KUN compiler generates Z80 code and then executes that
Z80 code. Otherwise, I would not know how they can get the speed they get.
The speed of a KUN-compiled program comes very close to the speed of an
assembler program. And they even have the same overflow-without-error-messages
effects for integer calculations as you have in assembler.
