Currently reqvm programs cannot allocate programs on the heap. This should be rectified.

Models that I will likely add:

C-like manual memory allocation and deallocation
a GC (or more)

Design questions:

do we want manual memory allocation to be mutually exclusive with the GC?
should there be a way to force one model over the other anyway if the answer to the above is "no"?
how do we treat pointers?
should our instruction set be expanded to allow instructions to work directly on pointers?

RealKC added enhancement low priority labels

RealKC modified the milestone: 0.3.0
