   It's ok if it's for a specific implementation.  But what I'm having   
   trouble seeing is how the locals get popped in case of an exception.  Do   
   you not need to implement something like (LOCAL) ?

   In some models of the RISCV, only 14, I think.  And in almost all   
   models, 8 of them are more efficient to address than the rest, because   
   of the compressed instruction format.
