It's that time on a Friday but... aren't these macros busted? I think you
need brackets before adding the offset, otherwise wouldn't, for example,
target registers 0-15 all access info register 0 and __SYS_BRBTGT(16) would
then start accessing source register 0?

I'm surprised that the compiler doesn't warn about this, but even more
surprised that you managed to test this.

Please tell me I'm wrong!
