Doesn't the GB have (at least) one 16-bit register? or maybe I'm confusing
it with the SNES.. anyways, if it does, then we still could have the two
upper bits signaling pointers, and have 14-bit integers :)  Although, I'm
not sure if you can do arithmetic with this/these registers or if they're
just used for addressing.. oh well, doesn't matter.
