If my 0.02$ are of any value, I would prefer to steer this in the direction of cross-target source level compatibility. #8 anc Co. is definitely CBM specific...

For CBM changing /0 to device 8 is 24 bits of code ;-) for other targets it might be a bit more complex but I think we'd win big if the code across targets would be source level compatible.
