Theoretically, it might be possible to, like DoubleSpace, compress
the entire user RAM and have an interrupt to decompress variables
as they are accessed. The VAT and the settings and RAM 1 etc.
would remain intact, but all vat entries would point to the start of
user mem. When a user variable is accessed, the variable
is decpmpressed to the start of RAM 1. Ideas anyone? Ruminate.
