#63 option for 8 bit pointers

[Errol van de l'Isle]

I have had a look, but :-
What may be a nice idea is an option for 8 bit pointers
instead of the more normal 16 bit pointer. This would
be very useful on the PIC ports where there is little
memory space and normally pointer/array access is
within the first 256 byte. In many cases the upper 8
bits is wasted. This would only be useful for programs
which use pointers or arrays and do not use much RAM.

Doing this should increase performance of the generated
code, since it would only be dealing with 8 bits and
also reduce the amount of RAM needed for storing
pointers and tempories for arrays.
