48# BRANCH The set of branches constituting a single choice are hooked
49# together with their "next" pointers, since precedence prevents
50# anything being concatenated to any individual branch. The
51# "next" pointer of the last BRANCH in a choice points to the
52# thing following the whole choice. This is also where the
53# final "next" pointer of each individual branch points; each
54# branch starts with the operand node of a BRANCH node.
55#
56BRANCH BRANCH, node Match this alternative, or the next...
57
58# BACK Normal "next" pointers all implicitly point forward; BACK
59# exists to make loop structures possible.
60# not used
61BACK BACK, no Match "", "next" ptr points backward.

73# STAR,PLUS '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented as circular
74# BRANCH structures using BACK. Simple cases (one character
75# per match) are implemented with STAR and PLUS for speed

128# Special opcode with the property that no opcode in a compiled program

131# node cant be optimized. So END implies "unoptimizable" and PSEUDO mean
132# "not seen anything to optimize yet".
133PSEUDO PSEUDO,off Pseudo opcode for internal use.
