You've got to be kidding me.  After all your indignant assurance that we as
programmers could use MOVE instructions if we just used mixed-format coding,
it turns out that you made a conscious effort to make it MORE DIFFICULT to
do mixed-format coding?

Exactly what "benefit" does this wipe out?  And since when is it your
position to "discourage" us from doing something?  This is exactly the sort
of thing I think you need to stop doing.  Stop deciding how we should code!
