I think the biggest issue is the lack of arithmetic with overflow checking, especially with a variant that calls a location in a control register on overflow.

I think the biggest issue is the lack of arithmetic with overflow checking, especially with a variant that calls a location in a control register on overflow.
This makes it very inefficient to compile languages that would like overflow checks on all arithmetic.
