Likewise my proposal to include arithmetic operators with a small constant argument was vetoed, otherwise the space & stack saving ÷2 instruction would have been available.
What? Who vetoed against this? Some time ago I suggested a simple instruction that might have been called HALF or something similar. If possible it should take a register address, so that here a HALF X would have done the trick. The main reason why it did not get implemented was the lack of available memory. Now I hear that such an instruction would have been possible. ?!?
