And this saves memory?  Doesn't the 85/86 not do this?  I have noticed
the 82 seems to do this, and thus has very memory conserving programs.
I have noticed a program in 85 basic is several times larger than a
program that does the same thing in 82 basic.  This suggests that the 85
stores it's programs in plain text, and this dissembler should be
possible for the 85, at least.
