VM registers are now a dynamic array
Stack based machines generally need "variable space". This may be
quite via a symbol-to-word association a list, a hashmap, or some
other system. Here I decide to go for the simplest: extending the
register system to a dynamic/infinite number of them. This means, in
practice, that we may use a theoretically infinite number of indexed
words, hwords and bytes to act as variable space. This means that the
onus is on those who are targeting this virtual machine to create
their own association system to create syntactic variables: all the
machinery is technically installed within the VM, without the veneer
that causes extra cruft.
