I could do that, but I feel that's more brittle.  I might need more (or
other) fields later on.  It will also cost me more  pushes on the stack
(no real performance or space impact, just C64-era frugality).

maybe thats the mindsent needed to make these virtual cpu patches
without eating away all the cpu power with more than needed
abstractions ;)
