 /*doc(Instructions)
     Variable length instructions. Instruction size ranges from 1 to 4 bytes.

     # Instruction formats
     Instructions can be in 7 different formats:
     1. 1 byte: Opcode(u8)
-    2. 2 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(i8)
-    3. 3 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + register(i8)
+    2. 2 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg)
+    3. 3 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg) + register(AmalReg)
     4. 3 bytes:\
     4.1 Opcode(u8) + intermediate(u16)\
     4.2 Opcode(u8) + data(u16)\
     4.3 Opcode(u8) + label(i16)\
-    4.4 Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + num_args(u8)
-    5. 4 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + register(i8) + register(i8)
+    4.4 Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg) + num_args(u8)
+    5. 4 bytes: Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg) + register(AmalReg) + register(AmalReg)
     6. 4 bytes:\
-    6.1 Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + label(i16)\
-    6.2 Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + intermediate(u16)\
-    6.3 Opcode(u8) + register(i8) + data(u16)\

+    6.2 Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg) + intermediate(u16)\
+    6.3 Opcode(u8) + register(AmalReg) + data(u16)\
     6.4 Opcode(u8) + flags(u8) + num_local_var_reg(u16)\

     # Registers
-    Registers have a range of 128. Local variables start from register 0 and increment while parameters start from -1
-    and decrement. Registers have the scope of functions and reset after instructions reach a new function (AMAL_OP_FUNC_START).
+    Registers have a range of 128. Parameters have the most significant bit set while local variables dont.
+    Registers have the scope of functions and reset after instructions reach a new function (AMAL_OP_FUNC_START).
 
     If import index for call and calle is 0, then that means the function resides in the same file the function call
     is being called from. Which means that import index 1 is actually import index 0 into the import list.
+
+    @AmalReg is an alias for u8.
