STOICAL TODO list.
--- Implement terminal CONTROL abstraction, allowing memory buffer/array
type access to the screen, using /dev/vcsa directly when possible. Screens
would be stacked in layers. This way a new thread could simply add a layer for
itself to be used throughout its execution.
--- Implement mmap() for strings, hashes and arrays.
--- Allow some infix character to separate words so that the connections in
statements like "() foo" can be more clear.. ie. "().foo". Though, whichever
character is used will become useless for any other purpose. (much like the
space already is). This character could actually do more than just a space; It
could build a list of its operands someplace so that some sort of object
notation might be used.
--- Taking into consideration the fact that most programs will only consume
about 10 stack cells at any one time, it may be a good idea to dynamically
enlarge the stack upon an overflow exception, up to a specified limit. This
would reward efficient programmers with more efficient memory usage.
--- Allow naming of stack positions. This would help with deep
manipulation, not to mention allowing the early HP Calculator x/y style
notation.
-- Use a flag stack for conditionals and tests? It could be implemented
as a bitmap.
