Something like that, yep. (Though string eval won't fire off an assembler)

What'd be really nice, though probably a bad idea for the test suite, was 
if the test program could run multiple tests sequentially without having to 
exit after each one. Like:

   create interpreter
   load bytecode for interpreter
   execute bytecode in interpreter
   destroy interpreter

over and over. Certainly be a good test of the GC system. :)
