The Unidot (formerly Pentasoft, formerly Penguin) compiler generates
code to an intermediate form, then interprets it as a Transputer would,
noting when an expression stack overflow would occur, queueing up assembler
for the the peephole optimizer as it goes.

When it detects an expression stack overflow, it generates code to save and
restore intermediate expression values.  It does the same for the floating
point expression stack.

"...that's the way a Transputer works, right?"
