If there are remaining types where it ignores the addend, I think it should
give an error when an addend is specified rather than silently ignoring it.
Also, having as do the negation seems a little questionable.
Shouldn't the assembly writer (and compiler) know that it is using
a negative operand in this case and write it that way?
