To be absolutely honest, I don't think this is my idea - I think I've seen
something a lot like that built as a college project.

That might be unreasonably costly. I was thinking of having a little
knob that you'd turn to select (for example) what variable was being
operated on - or what value a constant would have.
It would be cute to have an LED that lit up when the CPU was executing
that brick too!

Yep.

Right - and you could have bricks with higher level algorithms in them.
