   Maybe I'm a purist. Indirect threaded code is a clear expression   
   of programmers intent. That is the ideal foundation on which to   
   build optimisers. The only requirement for an optimiser is that   
   the results are the same. The program can be shorter or faster.   
   Locals are a hindrance.
