So are you planning to change the SDM? Else I don't see what new
aspect you are trying to tell me. I'm hesitant to commit the changes
without your consent, but getting back silence or all the same
vague arguments I'm afraid all I can do is give you a little more
time (say a week; if you need more, please give a clear time line) to
come forward with something substantial.

(Also please recall me having stated before that the AT&T operand
ordering has got completely screwed up over its apparent original
intentions with all the more-than-two operand instructions that got
added over the last so many years. This brokenness should _not_
impact Intel syntax mode.)
