Fascinating. I happen to have done quite a bit of 6502 programming back 
in my Apple II days. I can't wait to look at your code and see how Cells 
was able to contribute to that. I will also stare at the cycle and think 
about how Cells could be enhanced to handle that gracefully, even if 
just by giving programmers an orderly way to apply domain knowledge.
