used as a peek operand). Still TODO is deal with poke areas, which would
be relevant in carts with extended RAM.
The interaction between the internal tracking and Distella is now much
tighter, in that knowledge gained by Distella is used in the core code,
and vice versa. This allows the best of both worlds, where the internal
tracking finds stuff at runtime (that couldn't be found in a static
analysis), and Distella tracks potential paths (that haven't occurred at
runtime yet).
Added 'type' debugger prompt command, which basically queries an address
for its disassembly type (CODE/GFX/DATA, etc).
Added debugger commands to query the last address used in an operation
for various registers, but they're only stubs at the moment.
Updated the bankswitch schemes to deal with accesses in and around the
hotspot areas. Previously, peek accesses in these areas weren't being
recorded as DATA areas.

addresses used as part of code execution (ie, from the PC) during emulation.
This gives Distella much more information than can be determined from a
static analysis alone, resulting in an extremely accurate disassembly.
This also allows to generate very accurate debugger .cfg files.
Not all carts have been ported to this new scheme yet, particularly ones
having extended RAM that can be mapped out dynamically.
Note that this new scheme doubles the amount of RAM used for storing ROM
images, so up to 128KB extra will be used. There's also a small runtime
check for each instruction executed. Preliminary testing doesn't show
any slowdowns, but we'll see how it goes.

enough now (almost 10 years) to justify being specifically mentioned
above and beyond 'the Stella Team'.
