|     _Any_ interrupts for an OS entry point. The library approach in the

Gack.  One typo in a header file and every program in existence breaks.  And
if you're going to switch from user to supervisor mode you end up doing a trap
anyway (although I understand that the Amiga has the same no-protection
braindamage as every other baby system; I give up, I'll just get a Unix box).
