Methinks that those numbers are the number of bytes that each takes
in the verb program... so if you have 15 literals in a program, it
should be 1 (or even if you have zero, although it would probably
be possible to change the server so that it could actually take 0
bytes and those ops would be unavailable), but if you have, say, 300
literals, it should take 2 bytes.
