  67. <p>Upper and lower case are equivalent in register names, opcodes,
  68. condition codes and assembler directives.
  69. The case of letters is significant in labels and symbol names. The case
  70. is also important to distinguish the suffix &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo; for a backward reference
  71. to a local label from the suffix &lsquo;<samp>B</samp>&rsquo; for a number in binary notation.
