Re: [Flashforth-devel] Alignment in comma-quote

[Mikael N. <mik...@fl...>]

During the years, there has been various problems with alignment
and on the PIC24/33 a non-aligned cell access will cause an exception.

," abcd" 1234 , would cause an exception on the PIC24.

So to not break existing code I will keep these alignments as they are.
