-# Experimental syntax sugar for SubX programs.
-#
-# To run:
-#   $ ./subx translate 0*.subx apps/subx-common.subx apps/desugar.subx  -o apps/desugar
-#
-# We're experimenting with the following expressions:
-#
-# 1.
-#   $ echo "ab %eax"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 3/mod 0/rm32
-#
-# 2.
-#   $ echo "ab *eax"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 0/mod 0/rm32
-#
-# 3.
-#   $ echo "ab *(eax+4)"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 2/mod 0/rm32 4/disp32
-#
-# 4.
-#   $ echo "ab *(eax+ecx)"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 0/mod 4/rm32 0/base 1/index 0/scale
-#
-# 5.
-#   $ echo "ab *(eax+ecx+4)"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 2/mod 4/rm32 0/base 1/index 0/scale 4/disp32
-#
-# 6.
-#   $ echo "ab *(eax+ecx<<2+4)"  |  ./subx run apps/desugar
-#   ab 2/mod 4/rm32 0/base 1/index 2/scale 4/disp32
-#
-# Addition isn't commutative here. Template must always be (base+index<<scale+disp),
-# though some components are optional as described above.
-#
-# No metadata allowed inside '*(...)'.
-# Whitespace inside '*(...)' is ok. But not immediately after the '*' or '%'.
