The documentation, or the syntax?  I definitely vote for the syntax as being
poor, because it neither agrees with the syntax described as "assembler
syntax" in the "M68000 16/32-bit Microprocessor Programmer's Reference
Manual" nor that used by the PDP-11 and VAX.  Was there any good reason for
MIT to invent that weird syntax?  (The assembler isn't that hot either; slow
and buggy.)
