When I was first reading about D I read that the inline assembler syntax is
built in and standardised in the language... and I gave a large sigh of
relief.
If that's not the case, there are competing asm syntax in D, well... that
sucks. Am I version-ing my asm blocks for DMD and GDC now like I have to in
C for VC and GCC?
Surely D should settle on just one... If that happens to be the GCC syntax
for compatibility, great...?
