# interpreter into screwy states where an instruction is half-executed and we want to resume execution at that

# FIXME: This implementation does a lot of concrete banging on the stack during precondition checks. This means that

# RECOVERABLE. This is less than ideal if we want to enable restarts and other such things.

# It would be better to use an immutable version of the stack which can cheaply be duplicated, or find some way to
# cheaply duplicate the top stack frame and only commit changes to the stack when we change interpreter states.
