module Register

  # RegisterReference is not the name for a register, "only" for a certain use of it.
  # In a way it is like a variable name, a storage location. The location is a register off course,
  # but which register can be changed, and _all_ instructions sharing the RegisterReference then
  # use that register
  # In other words a simple level of indirection, or change from value to reference sematics.
