Touche! Almost. Here it's just a question of degree, of how much space
your code & data use. The compiler just generates `.data' & `.text'
directives and lets the chips fall where they may. No memory management.
It's the loader that supports the split I&D spaces.

The opinions expressed are mine. If they are not yours, why don't you
just go kill yourself & quit taking up space on my planet :-)
