SADE is capable of examining variables in previous stack frames, but not if
those variables are in registers.  Therefore, I'd like to be able to tell the
MPW C compiler to not put variables in registers when I'm compiling test
versions of things.

I realize there are a number of kludgy ways to keep specific variables
out of registers.  What I want is a simple switch to keep all variables out
of registers.

After looking at the index, the Compiler Options section, and the Language
section of the MPW C 3.0 manual, I have not found such an option.  Does one
exist?  If not, why not?  It sure would be useful, and I wouldn't think it
would be hard to do.
