Yea, the unions and namespace functions probably won't be used by the 
average programmer, anyway.  CCASM's namespace function also does not 
completely work as it is expected to yet.  Unions work well, though.  All 
of the newer psuedo-ops are very useful and some can be used to reduce the 
source code size.  The 'includebin' function is very nice because it lets 
you embed any file directly into the codestream from anywhere in your 
source code.  You can embed fonts, sprite data, music, or whatever.
