+# A little hack. We want translate_subx to always emit identical binaries to
+# the C++ translator. The C++ translator assorts segments before it processes
+# string literals, so we follow the same order above.
+#
+# However, dquotes currently emits a separate data segment for string literals.
+# So we need to run assort a second time to clean up after it.
+#
+# Potential solutions:
+#   a) modify C++ translator to process string literals before assorting.
+#   b) clean up dquotes to assume assorted segments, and append to the
+#   existing data segment.
