Add bytecode spans/blocks

Description

There is currently only one layer of bytecode grouping: sections. For advanced macro support, it's desirable for there to be (at least) one additional middle layer between sections and bytecodes so that a sequence or span of bytecodes can be manipulated as a group.

Things to consider:

  • Split data bytecodes with multiple items into multiple bytecodes, and save as a span
  • Make a span a type of bytecode? Which leads to...
  • Nested spans (traversing might be hard.. basically in-order tree traversal)
  • Greater chance of things like circular references?
