Imho PDP-8 is a difficult target for a HLL compiler; they like more
registers. It's very cramped.

I was trying to get a feel for what the capabilities of the result might
be.
With 32Kw of memory, if you could get, say, 10K cons cells + atoms,
would that be an interesting system? Or would it be too tiny to be useful?
Also, how would the code density of the compiled Scheme compare to
native machine code?
That global optimizer is quite something. I want one of those!
