I actually considered that at one point, back at the beginning. I
went with the fixed-size register file out of sheer comfort reasons.
(I think--it was a while ago) At this point I'd rather not move over
to a variable sized register file for other reasons. You'll notice
that the registers are embedded in the interpreter structure itself.
This removes a level of indirection (one I resisted doing until
Daniel showed me the speed win) and speeds things up.
