Very little work has been on on InterpreterSimulator, so it is very
possible that updates are needed here. The interpreter itself has not
changed much over the years, with the notable exception of Eliot's

I believe that there was some recent discussion of this on the list,
although I do not recall the issue right now. These are methods that
are meaningful in the translation to C but that would do nothing in
simulation mode. Can you explain the issue that you are having?
