I think the only other thing that would be nice is some comment that describes
the loop scheme.  I can follow it now, but it took a while of re-reading.  In
particular, the fact that 0 means "disabled", and happens to work because we
(correctly) only check for LEND at the end of an instruction.  Thus the offset
from pc_first will always be non-zero when we check.
