--- Comment #15 from Dmitry Selyutin <ghostmansd at gmail.com> ---
I'm OK with any good name for it. My point is that, regardless of the name, it
must be consistent per se and be consistent with anything around. Either all
modes must allow macros, or none of them. If only "value" part of the mode is
allowed to be a macro, then, to be a macro, vec2/vec3/vec4 must be converted to
a key-value form.
It's not hard to change the code around to make this place work, but this would
introduce an inconsistency. Allowing macros in modes would be kinda opening the
Pandora's box and make the assembly code barely readable. So, let's either have
some key-value mnemonic for vecs, or let's drop the option to allow macros for
these.
