I just mean that whenever it's at its starting position it must not
move left.  It's free to move right as much as it wants, move back to
the left as long as it doesn't pass its starting position, and
terminate wherever it happens to be at.

The reason for this requirement is just that egobfi8 doesn't make a
check for the pointer moving left from the starting position and
descending into other regions of memory such as other heap structures
or the text segment, potentially resulting in indeterminism across
platforms.
