Additionally with over 200 assembly instructions in x86, with more and
more special case assembly instructions being added, I wouldn't really
call composition of assembly instructions to also be composition of
general purpose software components. An additional point is that the
main things that code optimizers do, is remove generality from
assembly compositions.
