    Sorry, that isn't in-line assembly.  It's unsupportable, and since
there can't be any references to normal variables, mostly useless.  The
power on in-line assembly is that you *can* get to normal variables, with
the linker doing the corrections for you.

    There's also this idea called "documentation"...
