The few extra bytes they save in the core aren't worth the extra
complexity. This was initially done in a context where I had
troubles keeping the RC2014 binary with SDC inside the 8K limit.
At this point, even with the few extra bytes we add here, we're at
7200 bytes, so I'd say we're fine.
This would allow things like temporary giving control to the *CL
line on the TRS-80. For example... A very far fetched example. Not
at all the only *raison d'etre* of the layer...
