== Threading models and example syntax ==
The section describing Direct Threaded code says the following:
''This form is simple, but may have overheads because the thread consists only of machine addresses, so all further parameters must be loaded indirectly from memory.''<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code#Direct_threading</ref>
before later giving an example of direct-threaded code that contains inlined constants (A and B), in direct contradiction to the quote I've provided above. I propose the following wording be used in it's place:
''This form is simple, but if the thread consists only of machine addresses, then all further parameters must be loaded indirectly from memory, which may impose overheads.''
Additionally, a grammar similar to C (in particular, using switches) is used, but constants appear to be referenced via address, yet used as values! I advise replacing instances of &A or &B with simple A or B, and using a C-procedure style grammar instead of a C-switch grammar, perhaps with something like "jump" or "jump to" at the start of a reference to another piece of code, to clarify the manner in which the code in question is being used.
