 TODO
 ====
 
+- get rid of all other TODO's in the code ;-)
+- gfx examples are now a few hundred bytes larger than before. Why is that, can it be fixed?
 - compiler errors and warnings in standard format so the IDE shows them as clickable links; ./test.asm:2578:3: blablabla
 - further optimize assignment codegeneration
 - auto select correct library to import based on target, instead of having c64- and  cx16-  prefix variants
-- get rid of all TODO's ;-)
 - implement @stack for asmsub parameters
 - make it possible to use cpu opcodes such as 'nop' as variable names by prefixing all asm vars with something such as '_'
 - option to load the built-in library files from a directory instead of the embedded ones (for easier library development/debugging)
 - aliases for imported symbols for example perhaps '%alias print = c64scr.print' ?
-- investigate support for 8bitguy's Commander X16 platform https://www.commanderx16.com  and https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-docs
 - see if we can group some errors together for instance the (now single) errors about unidentified symbols
