But isn't this what Walter was arguing against? He wanted to standardize
inline assembly syntax for x86 because leaving it up to implementation
resulted in the current mess of Intel syntax vs. GNU syntax (which can
be extremely confusing if you're not well-versed in both syntaxes, since
the order of operands are swapped and there are some subtle notational
differences).
