Plus, we'd be creating yet another semantics for people to misuse.

I'm not happy with IAS being ditched because of weird inline asm
because that stops you from using the IAS all the way through, since
it would work on -c but not on -S, which is bad behaviour. Ignoring
textual mischief for textual output is a small price to pay, I think.

But, as I said earlier, any solution would be fine as long as we take
it consciously.
