Nah, using an I register as a host-machine-address for jumps doesn't argue
for sizeof(INTVAL) >= sizeof(void *). Instead, it argues that the design
that uses an int as an absolute address is wrong.
I'm going to rewrite the docs and ops to use a S register instead. Now all
I need to do is figure out something to make S stand for that encompasses
both uses. (Buffer pointer and generic pointer)
