The with-inline-assembly-case is just a mechanism for weaving the
inline assembly into the compiler's code with a bit more fine-grained
control. The "case" refers to a compile-time dispatch on the current
"result-mode" of the compiler. Which is a reall broken concept to
begin with, but that's just me not really knowing how to write a
compiler.

Anyway, I'd simply suggest ignoring the with-inline-assembly-case
operator, if at all possible.
