<h5>Arguments:</h5>
There are two forms of the '<tt>load</tt>' instruction: one for reading from a general pointer, and one for reading from a pointer to an array.<p>
There are three forms of the '<tt>load</tt>' instruction: one for reading from a general pointer, one for reading from a pointer to an array, and one for reading from a pointer to a structure.<p>
In the first form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' may be any pointer type. If it is a pointer to an array, the first (zeroth) element is read from). In the second form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' must be a pointer to an array. No bounds checking is performed on array reads.<p>

In the second form, '<tt>&lt;ty&gt;</tt>' must be a pointer to an array. No bounds checking is performed on array reads. In the third form, the pointer must point to a (possibly nested) structure. There shall be one ubyte argument for each level of dereferencing involved.<p>
