Thank you!
I'm with Simon, the key word here is "REFERENCE" implementation.
I want a freaking assembler that I can hack quickly, not the
perfectly written one that will eventually make its way out of
much reworking, etc. etc.
If this means a long piece of inlined Perl, so be it.
"PRODUCTION" implementation is a different story.
