Hans,

I would argue that we don't need the fixed form opcodes at all in the CF
spec.  The fixed C spec would still exist, so we wouldn't be losing
anything, and future versions could add the BIF's we need to do all the
string handling.  In the interim, we could code the mainline with CF specs,
and put the fixed C spec stuff in procedures, where the data manipulation
should probably be anyway...
