Here it's clear that I didn't communicate well. What I am terming a
"register" is a value in a local stack slot. That's all. No need to
save and restore, since they're already on the stack.
In a virtual machine, it doesn't make sense to have registers in the
hardware sense, I don't think.
Perhaps it needs a different name than "register virtual machine".
