 TODO
 ====
 
-- why does cx16.r1L = lsb(xx) & 3  generate 5 asm instructions? (noopt)
-- optimize asm:  sta VAR / <something with A> / sta VAR
+- monogfx/gfx2 flood fill is broken after removing the after(assignment: Assignment) from BeforeAsmAstChanger that splits assignments
+  also other things broken? rectangle? not sure
+
+- remove after(assignment from BeforeAsmAstChanger permanently once issues above fixed
 - gfx2/monogfx: use vera auto in/decrement in the flood fill routine (getpixels)
 - gfx2: use vera fx fill for horizontal_line of sufficient length?
