Python got loop-assignment (a while ago), great!
while p:=nextPC(): stuff
still fails because p might be 0, which is false. End up doing:
while (p:=nextPC()) is not None: stuff
Uugh. Still need to do more design on the toy impl before I start rewriting in something fast.
But, got named subroutines with local variables now. Just 436 LOC.
