* WIP Data types
There are 3 main data types of the virtual machine. They are all
unsigned. There exist signed versions of these data types, though
there is no difference in terms of bytecode between them. For an
unsigned type <T> the signed version is simply S_<T>.

* WIP Instructions
An instruction for the virtual machine is composed of an *opcode* and,
potentially, an *operand*. An /opcode/ represents the behaviour of
the instruction i.e. what _is_ the instruction. The /operand/ is a
datum of one of the /data types/ described previously.

Some instructions do have /operands/ while others do not. The former
type of instructions are called *UNIT* instructions while the latter
