Hi.
Does anyone have any thoughts on adding a looping construct to the RTL?
This could be used, e.g., to simplify things like ARM's
load/store-multiple instructions.
The first thing that came to mind is named sequences, akin to named
lets. It's kinda nice, but maybe a bit too esoteric for the target
audience. How to extend `sequence' is another matter, creating a new
name may be the simpler way to go.
