• Comments that describe all lines of code until a blank one are placed
into the lines immediately above
• Comments that describe an entire demarcated block are placed
immediately below the dash row at the top
• In any case, there should be a blank line after the top comment of
a demarcated block, to keep IntelliSense-style systems from applying
the block comment to the first actual line of code…
• …but there shouldn't be one before the dash row at the bottom, where
it'd be redundant.

Now you can grep for it¹!
¹ Editor that's actually smart enough to not only correctly detect
Shift-JIS during grepping, but also match the characters in a search
regardless of file encoding, sold separately

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

DOS is not the same thing as the underlying CPU, after all. A separate
file not only indicates to future port authors which parts of the code
are x86-specific, but it also speeds up build times…
… in theory, because removing 677 lines from 49 files each doesn't seem
to speed up the build as much as I had hoped? But apparently my whole
system mysteriously got faster in the meantime, and I was getting 22-23
seconds for the entire repo even before this commit. Good enough.

Oh, wait. Due to ridiculously unlucky alignment, we can't actually
approach TH03's OP.EXE from the top of code segment 2… without
covering way too many functions at once, that is.
At least TH02 works out with "just" three functions at once. *If* we
add seg2 back to OP.EXE, where we previously needed to delete it… 😵
