Functional Blocks

[Stephen001]

Now we have the capability to run opcodes that manipulate registers and constant input, functional blocks should be made to allow for methods, anonymous functions etc. The notion of scope beyond the local scope (well defined by a register group) could be fun here.

We have a few options here.

The easy route may well be to extend the Executor, to allow it to also be an opcode in it's own right. This will offer a very interesting property, if the assumption is Executors can be operated like threads, in that any function defined may also be multi-threaded in execution, with no notion of intrinsically locking the object it's associated with.

A part of this (and something of a requirement for anonymous functions anyway) would be the ability to hold a function reference in a register. This could however be managed by anonymous objects, referenced by registered instead.
