The Z-80 has enough registers for Ada (or at least a reasonable subtest) --
see the original Janus/Ada compilers. If you want *real* registers, even the
x86 doesn't have enough registers for reasonable code optimizations. A
"register architecture" is an iffy model for an intermediate language if you
ask me.
