And there is of course:
4) invoke's (and friends) register usage is assymmetrical and ugly.

Ad 1) again a note: Imcc's instructions have *r[16] attached, a NULL terminated list of used registers/operands. This list doesn't have the length of the opcode's arguments because of such opcodes like invoke. The argument count of a plain C<invoke> is 0, but in r[0] a reference to P0 is created to track the implicit usage of P0.
Okay, aesthetics and making up for a flaw in the implementation of how IMCC tracks opcodes and registers.
Neither of those are sufficient, individually or together.
