   Modern, as in invented in 1988.   
      
   Modern, as in post-1985 techniques require lots of memory.   
   So they are not of any use if you plan to host your compiler   
   on a Z80, otherwise your next problem is mapping techniques   
   that are designed to work well with orthogonal architectures   
   (which the Z80 is certainly not).   
   [I believe the plan is to cross-compile with Z80 as the target. -John]
