Sorry, but you're misremembering this. Stack pushes/pops were always
represented with autoinc, these being the only exception to the rule you
remember. You can easily verify this by looking at a .expand dump from a
32-bit i386 compiler - I just did so with 2.95 and 6.4. It's all pre_dec
for argument passing.
