If I understand http://dlang.org/iasm.html correctly, the idea is that D should 
have an inline assembler for each target architecture.

AFAICS what's desired is that you should be able to insert

	asm
	{
		// target-specific assembly goes here
	}

... and have it accepted by _any_ D compiler.  That seems to me to be an 
important part of the language in general and even more so on architectures that 
are suited to embedded systems.  So while it may make sense to cut the inline 
assembly in the short term for GDC, it doesn't make sense to me for it to be a 
change that lasts.
