Everything you've said is absolutely correct. In fact, it's probably easier to code (initially) than what I've proposed, and might even be less buggy, too.

Except, I don't want to use eval or do. You're missing the fact that this is a QA application. QA applications have to be as locked down as possible. They have to be as provably correct as possible. I know I've been bitten by tests that were false positives or false negatives, due to mistakes in the test or (worse!) the testing harness.

As for Turing-completeness, I might be wrong, but I believe that GOTO, JZ, and JNZ are the minimal requirements for Turing completeness, all of which I've already provided for in earlier posts.
