MOVE, MOVEL and EVAL are functionally different and there's no good reason that that functionality cannot be preserved. Since we are primarily using EVAL (or an assignment operator), using MOVE/MOVEL will highlight that this is a special case. Therefore I think that it would be very useful to preserve these opcodes, instead of having to jump through BIF hoops! -mark
