Is Punt_aes called by TOS when the actual change from medium to low resolution
is done?  I am curious because it could help me in solving my problem with
handling vectors during the change in resolution from "Set Preferences" and
I've always wondered why punt_aes was still included in the ROM versions of
TOS.  Atari ST Internals (Abacus) never really mentioned any good uses for
punt_aes.
