Torsten 4888b3b6db Starting to rework slot instructions that create risc
have to go through all and all macros and all thems tests. What did the wise man say: one step at a time

module SlotMachine
# SlotLoad is for moving data into a slot, either from another slot, or constant
# A Slot is basically an instance variable, but it must be of known type
#
# The value loaded (the right hand side) can be a constant (SlotMachine::Constant) or come from
# another Slot (Slot)
#
# The Slot on the left hand side is always a Slot.
# The only known object (*) for the left side is the current message, which is a bit like
# the oo version of a Stack (Stack Register, Frame Pointer, ..)
# (* off course all class objects are global, and so they are allowed too)
#
# A maybe not immediately obvious corrolar of this design is the total absence of
# general external instance variable accessors. Ie only inside an object's functions
# can a method access instance variables, because only inside the method is the type
# guaranteed.
# From the outside a send is neccessary, both for get and set, (which goes through the method
# resolution and guarantees the correct method for a type), in other words perfect data hiding.
#
# @left: A Slot, or an array that can be passed to the constructor of the
# Slot (see there)
#
# @right: A Slot with slots or a SlotMachine::Constant
# original_source: optinally another slot_machine instruction that will be passed down
# to created risc instructions. (Because SlotLoad is often used internally)
