So, I've moved the line up immediately following the hint space, and added a
comment:

+    # If imod == '00' && M == '0' then SEE "Hint instructions", above.
+    CPS          1111 0011 1010 1111 1000 0 imod:2 M:1 A:1 I:1 F:1 mode:5 \
+                 &cps

The line *was* still within the same group (which is large), so it doesn't
actually make a difference to the decode, but I do agree it makes more sense in
the new position.
