PS. With reference to the using Basic's assembler as a 'real' code assembler,
    this is exactly what I'll be doing from my compiler once I've stopped
    modifying the main record types all over the place and have it written
    (in C, using itself) as a relocatable module. (Yes, there is a use for
    Basic -@chain).
