#initialize(name, regnum = nil) ⇒ LogicalRegister

Initializes the register’s name and number, if assigned. If a register number is specified, the instance will be assumed to have a statically assigned register number. The name is meant to be used as a symbolic variable name, such as ‘counter’ or ‘key’.
