Yes, I, too, was very pleasantly surprised when I first saw this.

Of course, one *could* alter binutils to accept something similar
for ARM, and then alter gcc to spit it out. Whether anyone would use
this isn't clear .. and I can already almost hear certain maintainers
telling us how much of a bad idea this is from the maintainership
point-of-view ....
