Wouldn't it be better to fix the sources that use this confusing form of
macro invocation. Reading this as a programmer it looks to me like you
are trying to use an opcode called "foo.l" and not a macro called "foo"
whose first argument is ".l". ie wouldn't it be clearer to have:
foo .l, %d0, %d1
Cheers
