gollark: `LOAD`/`STOR` can be made overly multipurpose by accepting a register to load the address from as well as a constant.
gollark: I just had an idea for using the spare space!
gollark: It does not wrap around. You are invoking undefined behaviot.
gollark: I'm being indecisive about whether I should just keep the existing instruction format and just leave some bits unused in `STOR/LOAD`/hopefully find something to do with them, or switch out `ADDI` and use the spare space to make instructions excessively conditional.
gollark: So reassigning yet another register to hold a bunch of flags or something, splitting ADDI back into multiple instructions, and using the extra space for conditionals could work.
