  # Because the idea of what one instruction does, does not always map one to one to real machine
  # instructions, and instruction may link to another instruction thus creating an arbitrary list
  # to get the job (the original instruciton) done
  
  # Admittately it would be simpler just to create the (abstract) instructions and let the machine 
  # encode them into what-ever is neccessary, but this approach leaves more possibility to 
  # optimize the actual instruction stream (not just the crystal instruction stream). Makes sense?
  
  # We have basic classes (literally) of instructions
  # - Memory
  # - Stack
  # - Logic
  # - Math
  # - Control/Compare
  # - Move
  # - Call
  
  # Instruction derives from Code, for the assembly api
