I agree. I don't have the resources to track different MI versions and hope
to make the transition from annotations to a stable MI.

I think I *did* have the arguments the other way round initially and Andrew
Cagney advised me to reverse them. I may be wrong about that. In any case I
don't really care which order they are in but clearly there should be
consistency. Currently it seems to be a bit of a free for all but if Apple can
provide a more rigorous standard then I will be happy to try to follow it.

This is one command I find awkward as it doesn't do what the CLI command
"disassemble" does. I guess it shows that we all want different things out
of the same interface.
