Thanks.  This scheme brought to mind a possible change to the BANK directive, or maybe a new directive...

Following a BANK defaultbank directive, the compiler could use direct addressing to access varibles in defaultbank and use indirect addressing only for variables not in defaultbank.  I think this is possible as long as arrays don't cross bank boundaries.

Also, it would be convenient to be able to define variables (including words) above bank 0 without using arrays and aliases.

I think these two changes would make it easier and more efficient to utilize all the available RAM.

Is there enough interest in something like this to make it worthwile?
