+# Calculate a^b. Where: a0=a, a1=b
+#
+# Also, this is a good example of how numeric labels can be used
+#
+# Label 1: can be defined and redefined everywhere, and we can use
+# a suffix when referencing it, to specify if we want to reference
+# the previous or the next definition of the label, according to the
+# current position. 'b' for before 'f' for after.
+#
+# Ex:
+#
+# beqz	a1, 1f  # refers to the symbol 1 defined after this instruction
