the choice is yours. thanks for posting the patch, anyway.
perhaps someone will get ideas from reading it and make
useful changes to asm-mode.el in the future.
some observations for the next patch, should you have a
change of heart:
- the function asm-set-comment-char allows for very
dynamic comment char. i wonder how useful that would
be in practice -- do assembler language files often
contain different regions w/ varying comment chars?
(i.e., can we get same results w/ asm-mode-hook?)
- docstrings conventionally have the grammar style:
"Return foo..." instead of "Returns foo...". also,
they should mention the function's arguments.
- error messages conventionally begin w/ a capital
letter.
- the need to refontify strikes me as unclean.
perhaps this is related to the first point above.
see info nodes `(elisp) Tips' and `(elisp) Major Mode'
for more information. if you have difficulty w/ that
documentation, please start another thread.
(i will bow out of this thread now.)
