One reason for an 83 shell might be as a program manager that
could store programs more efficiently in a compressed format.
That shouldn't be too difficult to write and shouldn't take up
much space.  It could de-compress the program before executing
it.  The programs could be stored as strings.

This might result in a considerable space savings for stored
programs.
