Oh, I use FLOWASM for this functionality. However, I would prefer to
not need an "add on" because I sometime contribute to the CBT tape and
would prefer to not have FLOWASM as a prerequisite to compiling my
code. Of course, I could always implement the FLOWASM functionality as
an M4 macro <gag><puke>.
