TITLE ^

Parrot::DWIM - Parrot's confusing opcodes made easy.

SYNOPSIS ^

    .sub _main
        .include "DWIM.pir"
        print "The answer is\n"
        add $I0, 20, 23
        dec $I0
        print $I0
        print "\nsay's Parrot!\n"
        end
    .end

DESCRIPTION ^

The first time you run a program under include DWIM, the module replaces all the unsightly opcodes from your source file with the new DWIM comment: # DWIM and runs normally.

The code continues to work exactly as it did before, but now it looks like this:

    .sub _main
        .include "DWIM.pir"
       # DWIM  "The answer is\n"
       # DWIM  $I0, 20, 23
       # DWIM  $I0
       # DWIM  $I0
       # DWIM  "\nsay's Parrot!\n"
       # DWIM
    .end

DIAGNOSTICS ^

Can't open 'file' for reading

Can't open 'file' for writing

BUGS ^

Doesn't work for code like

    I0 = 1

Probably a lot more.
