In any case, keep in mind "pointers" and plain 32-bit integers are stored at
the same place all the time. So if you put a pointer type here, parts of the
code will still manipulate it as if it was an int - and the whole thing will
start looking ugly. The "correct" solution is to use an union, but then it
gets even uglier. For the same reason I didn't bother doing this before, I
still wouldn't bother now. But maybe that's just me.

There's no OPCODE cvs, nope.

If I get the time & motivation & permission, yeah...
