Registers 60,61,62,63 invoke a change to a new register set (0, 1, 2, 3).
They could have cheated and used 60 registers per bank, but that would mean
that you couldn't select bank 0, if bank 0 were already selected.  That 
would be bad news considering that you might not know which bank was selected
at the beginning of the page.
