  # A SimpleCall is just that, a simple call. This could be called a function call too,
  # meaning we managed to resolve the function at compile time and all we have to do is
  # actually call it.

  # As the call setup is done beforehand (for both simple and cached call), the
  # calling really means mostly jumping to the address. Simple.

    # We just swap in the new message and go.
    #
    # For returning, we add a label after the call, and load it's address into the
    # return_address of the next_message, for the ReturnSequence to pick it up.
