Ping on this:)
Thanks, I hadn't had time to look a this but it was on the list.
'S' can be used on either a variable or a function. Does "A constant call
address." need change?
I think so: this can certainly be used to generate arbitrary constant
addresses into assembly, but I don't remember if there was some reason
it was listed as only applying to call addresses. It certainly could
just be a historical artifact, as those strings tend to bit rot when
they're internal, but I wanted to at least take a look.
Also: IIUC we're supposed to remove the @internal when something is
documented (though I remember having said that before, so I might be
mistaken).
