assume songs code it as 1 always; implementations are free to change this during compilation, but this should be a compile time flag / optimization; not a concern of song.
The global pattern table is constructed only during compilation. At this point, we can do also all sorts of optimizations / changes e.g. remove unnecessary releases and reuse patterns if there's a pattern already that could be used.
The preprocessing is done sointu-cli and (almost) nothing is done by the NASM preprocessor anymore (some .strucs are still there.
Now, sointu-cli loads the .yml song, defines bunch of macros (go functions / variables) and passes the struct to text/template parses.
This a lot more powerful way to generate .asm code than trying to fight with the nasm preprocessor.
At the moment, tests pass but the repository is a bit of monster, as the library is still compiled using the old approach. Go should
generate the library also from the templates.
