   While I think that not being able to be put to use isn't really one of the   
   faults of the Concertina II ISA, the block structure, especially at its   
   current level of complexity, is going to come across as quite weird to   
   many, and I don't yet see any hope of achieving a drastic simplification   
   in that area.   
      
   Each of the sixteen block types serves one or another functionality which   
   I see as necessary to give this ISA the breadth of application that I have   
   as my goal.   
      
   But I have introduced "scaled displacements" back in, allowing the   
   augmented short instruction mode instruction set to be more powerful.
