I have an existing bytecode file that I need to execute. The bytecode
is produced by some other compiler. Does this change anything?
I'm not sure if a term-level interpreter or rewriter applies in this
scenario.
As for CPS, what I meant is implementing each bytecode instruction as
a function that takes a continuation (next instruction?).
Thanks, Joel
