[...discussion about self-modifying code.  It fouls up caches.
It is intellectually unmanageable with current ISPs....]

As to the semantics of self-modifying code, isn't it identical to
a Turing machine's or am I missing something?  Of course, reduction
machines, like Turner's combinatoric implementation of SASL, are
inherently self modifying.
