Bit-length modifier: The length modifier can be specified to
indicate the number of bits into which a constant is to be
assembled. The bit-length modifier is written as L.n where n is
either a decimal self-defining term, or an absolute expression
enclosed in parentheses. It must have a positive value. Such a
modifier is sometimes called a "bit-length" modifier, to
distinguish it from a "byte-length" modifier. You may not
combine byte-length and bit-length modifiers. For example, a
12-bit field must be written L.12, not L1.4.
