In my implementation, constants, local variables and registers live
all in the same array: frame.f_localsplus. Technically, there isn't
much difference between a constant, local variable or a register. It's
just the disassembler which has to worry to display "R3" or "x"
depending on the register index ;-)

There was a LOAD_CONST_REG instruction in my implementation, but it
was more to keep a smooth transition from existing LOAD_CONST
instruction. LOAD_CONST_REG could be avoided to pass directly the
constant (ex: as a function argument).

For example, I compiled "range(2, n)" as:

LOAD_CONST_REG       R0, 2 (const#2)
LOAD_GLOBAL_REG      R1, 'range' (name#0)
CALL_FUNCTION_REG    4, R1, R1, R0, 'n'

Whereas it could be just:

LOAD_GLOBAL_REG      R1, 'range' (name#0)
CALL_FUNCTION_REG    4, R1, R1, <const #2>, 'n'

Compare it to stack-based bytecode:

LOAD_GLOBAL          0 (range)
LOAD_CONST           2 (const#2)
LOAD_FAST            'n'
CALL_FUNCTION        2 (2 positional, 0 keyword pair)
