And that's a wrap! Thanks for everyone who joined!
We managed to shave of a massive 100 Bytes off of the interpreter size, AND break the C128 version in the process!
Oh well, I have some cleanup to do... πŸ˜„

And now the C128 version is fixed again. C128 now always uses bank switching, as it should. On the PET you can disable bank switching to gain about 100 Bytes of valuable RAM.
Code is here:
