+1. There's already confusion of what Spur actually is.
I have heard people saying it's a new VM (as in 'This is a Cog VM, this is Spur),
or just image format (as in 'Why is there problems with Characters? its only a new image format'),
or just object format (as in 'Why can't the interpreter load Spur images and just ignore the Character stuff?').
