And if like me you're mainly wanting to create a free (open, libre)
replacement for Turbo C 2.0 or Microsoft C 5.1, a basic C89 compiler
targetting MS-DOS (yeah, going a bit more OT here) as a main goal, it
should be easy to ignore a lot of the usual rules because you can target
an existing assembler that will do a lot of the work for you...as x86
macro assemblers to have a fair bit of stuff specifically to support C.
