   Notes:
-  (*) In OP_CALL, if (B == 0) then B = top. C is the number of returns - 1,
-      and can be 0: OP_CALL then sets `top' to last_result+1, so
-      next open instruction (OP_CALL, OP_RETURN, OP_SETLIST) may use `top'.

   (*) In OP_VARARG, if (B == 0) then use actual number of varargs and
-      set top (like in OP_CALL with C == 0).

+  (*) The OP_CLOSURE instruction is followed by a sequence of
