Signed numbers?
  1s or 2s complement?
  Arithmetic overflow?
  How to manage bit maps?
  Big endian or Little endian?  Or we try and hide distinction?

How to implement a queue?  [does it get the same sorts of monitoring
as a stack?]

How efficient will this "operating system" be at emulating itself?
