 Initialized data
 ----------------
 
    These are the GASP directives for initialized data, and the standard
 GNU assembler directives they expand to:
 
 `.DATA EXPR, EXPR, ...'
 `.DATA.B EXPR, EXPR, ...'
 `.DATA.W EXPR, EXPR, ...'
 `.DATA.L EXPR, EXPR, ...'
      Evaluate arithmetic expressions EXPR, and emit the corresponding
      `as' directive (labelled with LAB).  The unqualified `.DATA' emits
      `.long'; `.DATA.B' emits `.byte'; `.DATA.W' emits `.short'; and
      `.DATA.L' emits `.long'.
 
      For example, `foo .DATA 1,2,3' emits `foo: .long 1,2,3'.
 
 `.DATAB REPEAT, EXPR'
 `.DATAB.B REPEAT, EXPR'
 `.DATAB.W REPEAT, EXPR'
 `.DATAB.L REPEAT, EXPR'
      Make `as' emit REPEAT copies of the value of the expression EXPR
      (using the `as' directive `.fill').  `.DATAB.B' repeats one-byte
      values; `.DATAB.W' repeats two-byte values; and `.DATAB.L' repeats
      four-byte values.  `.DATAB' without a suffix repeats four-byte
      values, just like `.DATAB.L'.
 
      REPEAT must be an absolute expression with a positive value.
 
 `.SDATA "STR" ...'
      String data.  Emits a concatenation of bytes, precisely as you
      specify them (in particular, _nothing is added to mark the end_ of
      the string).   String and numeric constants Constants, for
      details about how to write strings.  `.SDATA' concatenates multiple
      arguments, making it easy to switch between string
      representations.  You can use commas to separate the individual
      arguments for clarity, if you choose.
 
 `.SDATAB REPEAT, "STR" ...'
      Repeated string data.  The first argument specifies how many
      copies of the string to emit; the remaining arguments specify the
      string, in the same way as the arguments to `.SDATA'.
 
 `.SDATAZ "STR" ...'
      Zero-terminated string data.  Just like `.SDATA', except that
      `.SDATAZ' writes a zero byte at the end of the string.
 
 `.SDATAC "STR" ...'
      Count-prefixed string data.  Just like `.SDATA', except that GASP
      precedes the string with a leading one-byte count.  For example,
      `.SDATAC "HI"' generates `.byte 2,72,73'.  Since the count field
      is only one byte, you can only use `.SDATAC' for strings less than
      256 bytes in length.
