OK.
A strict reading of the asm language guide says this is mostly right,
since the operand to the radix operand, by exclusion, must be in the
symbol name space, and hence the # operator can apply to it. The manual
also says that the symbol name space is case sensitive, and only "C" is
specified as valid here. However, in the MASM radix section they define
both upper and lower case versions of everything, so the lack of a
documented lower case "c" argument seems to be yet another documentation
bug.
