gollark: <@!330678593904443393> You would pass it 6 register indices.
gollark: 32 registers would probably allow room for more fun stuff, like the program metacounter register.
gollark: Unless I decide to upgrade to 32 registers, in which case it would only allow 5 max.
gollark: Very late, but PotatoASM can probably handle syscalls of up to 6 parameters, which is surely enough for ANY possible usecase, through passing a bunch of register indices as operands to the `SYSC` instruction.
gollark: It's annoying that my internet connection is so bad right now.
