 In most cases the maximum number of operands is three.
+Operands are separated by a comma (@samp{,}).
+A comma however does not act as a separator if it appears within parentheses

+@code{@value{AS}} will complain if too many, too few or inappropriate operands

 Some instructions accept and (in certain situations require) a suffix
 indicating the size of the operand.
 The suffix is separated from the instruction name by a period (@samp{.})
 and may be one of @samp{b}, @samp{w}, @samp{p} or @samp{l} indicating
 `byte' (a single byte), `word' (2 bytes), `pointer' (3 bytes) or `long' (4 bytes)
 respectively.
