Grief, you guys seem to be making a rod for your own back. I shudder to
think of the possibilities for having the code go into hyperspace because
you have managed to cross a page boundary.

Perhaps you all use small linkable modules, in which case you can probably
get away with it, but I can envisage making a small modification to code
where the code space is getting full, and finding it suddenly "very broke"
as the skip crosses a page boundary.
