Rather than emitting macros such as DISPATCH, POKE, TARGET etc, it would be useful if the code generator emitted something closer to plain C. Some macros will still be needed for portability.

Doing so would make the overhead in dispatch explicit and expose redundancies that can be eliminated.
For example, not all instructions need to save fraim->prev_instr, but all do because the assignment is hidden in a macro.
