Well, I'm impressed. I can't speak to efficiency, but reading through the spec immediately let's me see how one might implement an allocator atop the basic system, and gives me an idea of how one might wrangle predictive jumps if one were optimising aggressively, and so on.

This is one of the most _predictable_ instruction sets I've seen - and that I like. It takes time to learn nuances, but with this it seems that the documentation is right up there with the best, making that learning curve considerably less.
