Nice catch. I dind't know about the P prefix thing. It also is used
in other places too. Hmmm... I can't find anything about the P
argument prefix in the gcc info page (4.3). Any ideas where I can
find some information about it? It's a bit weird that it's not a
constraint prefix but an argument one.

Thanks.
