 SAIL COMPILER BUG:
 THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE--
 BP ← POINT (6, FOO, -1);
 FOO ← GEORGE;
 IDPB (0, BP);
 GEORGE ← FOO;
 --  RESULTS IN NO APPARENT CHAGE TO FOO OR GEORGE.
 REASON SEEMS TO BE THAT SAIL 'KNOWS' THAT FOO IS STILL COPIED
 IN AN AC, AND DOESN'T NEED TO   MOVE  AC,FOO   BEFORE MOVEM'ING.
 OH, WELL, I CAN ALWAYS GET AROUND IT.
