So the benefit is to get the ability to execute dynamically generated code.

How would the language become more flexible/usable? Executing dynamic code,
or is there more to it?

There's a point in market saturation where porting would probably jump
exponentially. Would we reach that point of market saturation by making the
changes suggested?
Can't the assembly kernel be made cross platform, or is it hooking into the
