Examples too detailed

The examples in this article seem to be too detailed. Please note that "Wikipedia is not a textbook"; articles should be written in clear but succint "encyclopedic" style rather than "pedagogical" style.

I have to agree completely with this assessment. The article should address What not How. The (historical) assembly language examples, in particular, are completely over the top. Could the author perhaps place them in an article outside Wikipedia and make a reference to that? Airsplit (talk) 08:51, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing "historical" about Assembler language and the example in the article is just as valid for Z/Architecture (as stated). Since the techniques are not well known, the detail is required to demonstrate its value I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.5.57 (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
