Creole is a bytecode designed for simple implementations.
## Bytecode Format
Each creole line consists of pseudo-UTF-8 characters. The first byte
is an unsigned number between 0 and 127 (the high bit is clear). Each
suceeding pseudo-UTF-8 character is encoded as follows:
* `110HHHHx 10xxxxxx`
* `1110HHHH 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx`
* `11110HHH 10Hxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx`
* `111110HH 10HHxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx`
* `1111110H 10HHHxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx`
* `11111110 10HHHHxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx`
The first four bytes determine the type:
* `0`: Value is a register.
* `1`: Value is immediate.
All other values are reserved. Overlong values are allowed, and for some
argument values they are necessary. All lines are terminated by a byte
of all zeros.
