S/38 (aka IBM's Future Program) was both a great idea, and every bit a
"general purpose processor".  Why it never caught on I never fully
understood.  Honestly, I hadn't thought of the tagged processors when I
answered Jason's rant - I was merely thinking of separated data and code,
but really, S38 would have been the right "final" answer.
