In #1398 I experimented with making some of the syntax implicit, but as soon as it became clear I also needed to add support for ignoring certain bit sizes and only running code on others that quickly became a bad idea. This commit changes the syntax to be fully explicit, like a `match` expression that takes an implicit argument of the number of bits with no other weird rules. If you want the block to appear in the code on e.g. 16-bit targets, they need to be explicitly named. This commit implements all permutations except for `16 | 32 | 64` since that amounts to no gating whatsoever, which defeats the point of using this crate.
