I would prefer to dispense with MAX_OPERANDS entirely.  I can think
of no good reason to have one.  Aside from new machines with more and
more registers, there have been occasions where I would have liked to
put a couple dozen struct offsets into the assembly with "i" constraints.

You can split the string and use concatination ("%1""2"), just as
is required with the ISO \x sequence.
