With a view to DefMod generating code for riscose could they be left in
but a `deprecated' flag added to the grammar and DefMod made to skip
them for C library generation?

Only riscose would like to implement those one day.

If you think that's a valid approach I'm happy to supply a patch.


Ralph.
