---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
IMCC currently allows the '=' syntactic sugar on all opcodes, even when
the first register is an input argument rather than an output argument.
PIRC correctly detects and handles these cases, so when the transition to
PIRC is made any code using, for example:
$S0 = print
$P0 = substr 1, 2, "x"
Will have to change to:
print $S0
substr $P0, 1, 2, "x"
This behavior will not be changed in IMCC. See
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36283 for the history.
