***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

For method calls I can just create a new SSAAllocator for the method to be
called (SSAToMachine will handle that) then I can just place the registers in
the correct location.

BigInteger based on Wolfram Alpha... Estimated max value:
8.808065258419816766037465748959201428335557790940673... * 10^646456992;
646456993 decimal digits. That is one large number. Wolfram Alpha also knows
the escape velocity of Kepler-22 b, which is 97000 mph. Suppose you will need
lots to fuel to get out of that place. A CPU with 32 2GiB general purpose
registers may be worse than one with lots of smaller ones.
