; Addresses
;
; An "addressing unit" is the smallest quantum of storage addressed by
; an address on a particular machine. On a DEC-20, 3600, or other
; word-addressed architecture there is one addressing unit per cell. On
; the VAX or 68000, though, the addressing unit is the byte, of which there
; are 4 to a cell.
;
; Note: by a "byte" is meant enough bits to store either a character or
; a bytecode. That probably means either 7, 8, or 9 bits.
;
; If the addressing unit is smaller than a cell each address will have some
; number of "unused bits" at its low end. On a byte-addressable machine with
; 32 bit addresses, there are two.
