Does that mean that in principle LDC could understand intel-style 
syntax but only if it knew in advance which type of syntax was 
being used in the _whole_ thing, ie as opposed to being told too 
late by a .intel_syntax directive? To get interoperability 
between GDC and LDC then perhaps the two compilers could have an 
external ‘dialect’ parameter that is available before we get into 
the statements-body. Failing that, LDC would need to look ahead 
for the likes of a .intel_syntax directive with an auto 
detect-type initial regex. Seeing as presumably no one ever 
switches dialects other than at the start, then that would 
certainly work well. I’m very good at proposing work for others.
