I knew this would happen, it was part of my reason for making the post. Better use of the keywords helps a lot. Related bugs often provide valuable clues to fixing problems, and the keywords find related bugs.

I agree. It's also much more efficient to fix bugs this way.
I don't use much the inline assembler anymore, but there is another great use for it - learning assembly language! Iasm helps because you can concentrate on learning the instructions while not being concerned about all the boilerplate needed to create a functioning program.
The Intel assembler syntax (which DMD's iasm uses) is also much easier to read than the syntax used by others, in large part because it matches Intel's documentation.
