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.
