-# Slurp and Spew #
-
-The stdlib uses heap[1] to heap[15] as registers.
+## Extending Heap Reservation ##

 
 

-The `slurpreg` and `spewreg` functions facilitate this by `spew`ing the stack
-onto the heap's pseudo-registers or `slurp`ing the pseudo-registers back to the
-stack.  The functions preserve order in complementary fashion.
+By default, the stdlib uses the first 16 heap addresses. All heap access (other
+than heap[0] as a seed) occurs through `stackrotate` and `stackrotatereverse`.
+Edit these functions to increase the stdlib's heap reservation.

 
 

-The `spewreg` function uses `heap[0]` for storage.
+The remainder of the stdlib is written to automatically use the new allocation.
+Functions like `printf`, for example, allow more substitutions when the heap
+allocation is increased.
