I am strongly of the opinion that the right way to do this is to have
the compiler generate appropriate directives in the assembly files it
generates -- and to have users do the same.  Relying on the defaults is
just too dangerous.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to get the defaults to match up,
but making it explicit is the right thing to do.
