One could obviously write:

CONST
  (* branch conditions *)
  MI = 0; EQ = 1; LT = 5; LE = 6, ALWAYS = 7;
  CondOffset = 01000000H;

  (* instruction formats *)
  RegisterInstruction0 = 0; RegisterInstruction1 = 1; MemoryInstruction = 2;
BranchInstruction = 3; 
  InstOffset = 40000000H;
  U = 20000000H;
  V = 10000000H;

SYSTEM.PUT(address, BranchInstruction*InstOffset + ALWAYS*CondOffset + U + V
+ offset MOD CondOffset);

This would be OK if it was done right. The following code is syntactically
correct but it cannot be "right".

SYSTEM.PUT(adr, (offset MOD 1000000H) + 0F7000000H);

This could be accepted if they wrote comments in their code.

If the purpose of programming is to confuse the enemy, then everything is OK
of course. (The enemy being everyone except the author.)
