/* We want @(expr, pc) to uniformly address . + expr,
no matter if expr is a constant, or a more complex
expression, e.g. sym-. or sym1-sym2.
However, we also used to accept @(sym,pc)
as adressing sym, i.e. meaning the same as plain sym.
Some existing code does use the @(sym,pc) syntax, so
we give it the old semantics for now, but warn about
its use, so that users have some time to fix their code.
Note that due to this backward compatibility hack,
we'll get unexpected results when @(offset, pc) is used,
and offset is a symbol that is set later to an an address
difference, or an external symbol that is set to an
address difference in another source file, so we want to
eventually remove it. */
