C-style assembly

[Shehryar Humayun]

Dear Sir,
You mentioned that

Is this due to lack of expression in RTL or is it the
cgen implementation that has been constrained with
supporting only a specific assembly syntax (i.e.
mnemonic opr1, opr2)?
Correct me if I am wrong, I am asking this because I
think that if the cause is lack of RTL's expression,
then the escape hatch of emitting c-code in .cpu files
can be used; and if the cgen's implementation is a
constraint, then the .scm files can be manipulated to
understand c-code, right?

Thanks for the guidance.
