1 An "expression" specifies an address or numeric value.  Whitespace may
1 precede and/or follow an expression.

1    The result of an expression must be an absolute number, or else an
1 offset into a particular section.  If an expression is not absolute, and
1 there is not enough information when 'as' sees the expression to know
1 its section, a second pass over the source program might be necessary to
1 interpret the expression--but the second pass is currently not
1 implemented.  'as' aborts with an error message in this situation.
