Torsten db5a59f735 Unify instruction namings also dirs
Was getting confused myself, where it was instruction or instructions, when if the base class was inside or out of dir.
Now dirs are plural, and base class is inside.

module SlotMachine
# Transering the arguments from the current frame into the next frame
#
# This could be _done_ at this level, and in fact used to be.
# The instruction was introduced to
# 1. make optimisations easier
# 2. localise the inevitable change
#
# 1. The optimal risc implementation for this loads old and new frames into registers
# and does a whole bunch of transfers
# But if we do individual SlotMoves here, each one has to load the frames,
# thus making advanced analysis/optimisation neccessary to achieve the same effect.
#
# 2. Closures will have to have access to variables after the frame goes out of scope
# and in fact be able to change the parents variables. The current design does not allow
# for this, and so will have to be change in the not so distant future.
