+# so, for example, syst is interpreted in light of oper, but chip is not.
+# anyway, no slashes, no extra colons, no uppercase letters.
+# the point of the extra -'s is to ease parsing: can add hierarchies later.
+# e.g., *:i386-*:*:pentium-*:* would handle pentium-100 as well as pentium,
+# and i386-486 (486s do have more instructions, you know) as well as i386.
+# the idea here is to include ALL useful available information.
