Agreed. I thought there was something about this in the GCS, but I can't
find it now. I certainly remember that this has come up before and have
always thought that it was policy - perhaps only informally, since so much of
what we do is informal! - for binutils, and maybe gcc, to avoid introducing
any new uses of this idiom.
