You've been filled in pretty well (yeah, the docs suck. Sorry... :) on what
those should do.
Please note that the jump opcode is currently broken. It returns an offset,
when it should return an absolute address. (I'm trying to remember if I
intended all the RETURNs to return absolute addresses or not)
We need a separate RETURN_ABS or something to not do the offset, FWIW.
Oh, and end is always op 0, and the oploop checks that, as you've seen. It
has a function body anyway, just to be really sure.
