Well, unification seems more improtant than a minor compability problem that only affects the Z80 (a similar thing was done by dropping the broken support for 'bool' some time ago). And ease of using anewer asxxxx seems to be and added bonus. However I sometimes wonder if it I should look at supporting the GNU binutils as well.
