> Reminiscent of the old CODE() statement for inline ASM in Logitech M2.

I'm afraid that I was partially responsible for convincing TopSpeed that 
some form of inline assembly capability was absolutely necessary, after 
making extensive use of it in Logitech. I must say though that their 
implementation was far more elegant than anything I would have dreamed 
up... they really have done a good job binding definition of procedures 
as inline assembler to the parameter-passing mechanism.

Pity reg_saved etc. are a bit obscure :-)
