You rock for having something before MIPS ;-) (Note that other
architectures like CRIS are also affected… just, MIPS probably
has the broadest impact… even I have a FreeWRT WLAN AP.)
Sorry I can’t provide any feedback because I’m out of my depth on
both the hardware and the requirements aspect.

Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh-
ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant
detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
