  # Our virtual c-machine has a number of registers of a given size and uses a stack
  # So much so standard
  # But our machine is oo, meaning that the register contents is typed. 
  # Off course current hardware does not have that (a perceived issue), but for our machine we pretend.
  # So internally we have at least 8 word registers, one of which is used to keep track of types*
  # and any number of scratch registers
  # but externally it's all Values (see there)
  
  # * Note that register content is typed externally. Not as in mri, where int's are tagged. Floats can's
  #   be tagged and lambda should be it's own type, so tagging does not work
  
  # A Machines main responsibility in the framework is to instantiate Instruction

  # Value functions are mapped to machines by concatenating the values class name + the methd name
  # Example:  IntegerValue.plus( value ) ->  Machine.signed_plus (value )
  
  # Also, shortcuts are created to easily instantiate Instruction objects. The "standard" set of instructions
  # (arm-influenced) provides for normal operations on a register machine, 
  # Example:  pop -> StackInstruction.new( {:opcode => :pop}.merge(options) )
  # Instructions work with options, so you can pass anything in, and the only thing the functions does
  # is save you typing the clazz.new. It passes the function name as the :opcode
