Oooo...a PIC18 version; that would be nice.

I dearly miss the use of the single indirection register in the PIC16x
chips. The alternative I use is to disable interrupts, resort to
assembler, save the current FSR and not use any Forth words.
Particularly when using the higher banks (2 and 3) to manipulate
chunks of data.
