Having been paid to do this twice for MSVC-style asm, and having it
come out badly both times, I have no interest of seeing anything of
the kind in FSF GCC.
Dunno about CW, but MSVC semantics are virtually undocumented. You
get to find out all the things that "ought to work" via trial and
error, looking at existing user code. This is not something I ever
want to support without large sums of money attached.
