AArch64/ARM64 canonical assembler syntax

Just a quick thought on item 3: if you would go for printing
the lsl/msl, I guess it would be possible to print the immediate
value (e.g. #503808) as a comment after the instruction?
I'm assuming it makes the printed assembly slightly more readable?

Thanks,

Kristof
