Hello Kevin,

would you mind to add an explanation of the syntax of that construct? For example, what does the "g" mean? Since we don't have many asm instructions in guile, it is fair to assume that most of the developers don't know about the exact meaning of that construct.

Thanks a lot
Dirk Herrmann
