Many times I have found it necessary to include asm instructions
in a C program.  It should be possible to do this in such a way
that the compiler will substitute the locations of variables for
the variable names in the asm instructions.  I know of ways to do
the job; one person to whom I showed this pointed out that if the
compiler were changed this could break.  This would not be the case
if the suggested enhancement were made.
