    2424Better code generation. We have been pondering whether to have a separate peephole optimization pass or to incorporate peephole optimization into code generation. Either way, we should look at some code generation algorithms based on tile matching. We also want to choose an approach that will be compatible with planned extensions, e.g. superinstructions.

    28 Make everything work with a switch statement, based on macros -- for the sake of platforms without computed goto -- Oliver is working on this.

    4646Function call should store offset of R, not R, since vector may reallocate. This probably solves most problems related to new evaluations in same global object, since they all occur beneath function calls
