I don't want to argue about the fact that there is certainly code
out there which assumes inline x86 assembly to be available. My
point was that this is _not_ like Jonathan's »auto a =
expression« vs. »expression = a auto« example, because the
language contains specific provisions for inline assembly not
being available by having a standardized D_InlineAsm_x86 version
identifier.
