I would think that you would need to support the old format as well as the new.
Maybe make the old format depreciated and never remove it (with the appropriate
warnings during compile.) This way, those who want to keep the older style can,
and those who are learning fresh from either Barden or someone else (yes, I know
it's not quite the same as OS-9 assembly) can use the older code until they
learn better.

Just my $0.00. :)
