SLT is ambiguous ?!

SLT means: SKIP IF LESS THAN

How can anything be LESS than in a circular system ?!

-1=CORESIZE-1=(CORESIZE*2)-1=(CORESIZE*3)-1
0=CORESIZE=CORESIZE*2=CORESIZE*3
1=CORESIZE+1=(CORESIZE*2)+1=(CORESIZE*3)+1

Therefore any value can be interpreted as LESS or GREATER than any other
value !

Comments ?

There are actually only positive numbers, the negative ones are just
syntactic sugar.

So yes, -1 > 0

(haven't tested)
