it seems I left my asm argument harmonization half done here.
Instructions list at B208 doesn't correspond to many actual
mnemonics. This mnemonic here was the worst offender.
There is now no more actual code in stable ABI, only references.
This makes refactoring of this code much easier. For example,
changing IY to BC as the IP register.
Initially, I used the same letters as those used in the z80 ref
docs, but it makes the different assemblers harder to use than they
should. Having consistent "argtype" rules across assemblers should
help.
Instead of having wordref point to core word routines, I made them
into word 4 word types. It liberates space into the stable ABI and
should make porting to other arches easier.
I'm also thinking of combining word type with the namelen field
for precious bytes saving, but not now...
DO and LOOP now only compile words from stable ABI, which make them
suitable for xcomp. This will greatly simplify driver writing and
allow us to mostly avoid the low/high divide in drivers.
LEAVE is still xcomp-incompatible though.
This make us very very tight for "<0x100" limit for literal words.
Hopefully, we won't need more stuff in that area of the binary...
