Yes. But that means you pretty much can't do any branching during that
scanline, unless you want to go to great difficulty to make sure the
cycle counts always work out the same. It works for the invaders thing
because during the display kernel (actually, Piero, during the first
scanline of each pair used in the invaders), all I'm doing is loading,
rotating, and storing data rather than checking and branching.
