I can't help but note that it's pretty funny that people are complaining about 
assembler limitations. When I was a lad, the assembler could barely do macros...
(Of course, so-called "high-level" languages like C should be so lucky as to 
have the power of assembler macros! Their idea of a "macro" is really quite 
primitive.)
