It would be helpful if PCT knew how to handle integer registers if needed.
A typical example is for using the "isgt" or any other isXX op:
a = 1
b = 2
$I0 = isgt a, b # returns 0, as 1 is not greater than 2
In PCT this is helpful, if you want to translate a HLL statement like this:
if a > b then {some thing you want to do if a > b }
This can then be compiled to:
$I0 = isgt a, b
if $I0 goto _then123
{ possibly else block }
goto _endif
_then123:
{ something you want to do if a > b }
_endif
Note that in a later phase, these instructions can be optimized to:
gt a, b, _then123
