Backend to produce a self-descriptive bytecode format, to be converted to text on client side.
This will enable:
-
better constants display (currently: FNEW 0 0 ; <main.lua>:1);
-
branch target discovery independent of the text format (FORI 1 => 0008);
-
to visually discriminate between different classes of immediate integer arguments in instructions (MODVN 5 4 0 );
-
to assign meaningful names to prototypes (based on the target of FNEW assignment + debug info).
Doing it on client side will make it possible for the old saved states (sharing) to benefit from new application features.
Pre-req for #7
