> This is basically a thread for discussion. There are still a few inconsistencies in the semantic annotations. The following examples illustrate that:
> _Constant fields_:
> `"1 -> 0,1" "3->4"` means field 1 is copied unmodified to 0 and 1, while 3 becomes 4.
> `"1 ->0,1 ; 3->4"` means the same thing, expressed in a single string (semicolon is the delimiter between statements about fields).
> `"1 , 3"` means that 1 and 3 remain constant as 1 and 3. Note that comma is the delimiter here.
> _Read Fields_:
> `"0 , 2"` means that fields 0 and 2 are read. Note that here, the delimiter is the comma, like with the standalone constant fields, unlike the constant fields with arrow notation.
> I find that a bit inconsistent, especially the mixed use of comma and semicolon for the constant fields.
> - Do we want to keep it that way?
> - Or use the semicolon for the standalone constant fields and read fields?
> - Or use the comma in the constant fields (finding an alternative delimiter for the right hand side of the arrow?
