That just allocated one more register ... another one for zero ...
three for top of stack items ... two for stack pointers ...
You're going to run out of registers on 64-bit x86!  ;-)

Do you plan a compatibility package with definitions for, say DO,
FOR, NEXT, etc, in terms of TIMES?

Do you see any contradiction in you providing numerous stacks:
float, integer, loop, control etc., i.e., "generous" or "liberal",
but at the same you're limiting the language to the minimum, i.e.,
"constrained" or "conservative".

Lol,
