Hello! I've been using Saturn for my Csc258 project this semester and it's AMAZING. Thank you for freeing us from MARS hell. I'm trying to use virtual lookup tables for functions, and also state logic, things that would require me to store a pointer to a function. I believe this is not currently supported. The syntax of a possible implementation may look something like this:

I believe this would be useful for many other OOP purposes. Thanks again for this awesome software!!

Hey! I just saw this right about now- thanks for filing this! This is totally doable with the current assembler setup. I've gone ahead and implemented this in 0.1.5 latest.
