# A frame, or activation frame, represents a function call during calling. So not the static definition of the function
# but the dynamic invokation of it.
#
# In a minimal c world this would be just the return address, but with exceptions and continuations things get more
# complicated. How much more we shall see
#
# The current list comprises
# - next normal instruction
# - next exception instruction
# - self (me)
# - argument mappings
# - local variable mapping, together with last called binding
