    v10 v11  
    166166 
    167167Use string registers and the downcase opcode. For HLLs, provide its own version in the HLL mapped String type. 
    168  
    169  
    170 == No implicit :main subs == 
    171  
    172 === Description === 
    173  
    174 PIR programs will be required to have a sub marked :main.  Previously if no sub was marked :main, the first sub would be used. 
    175  
    176 === Rationale === 
    177  
    178 Requiring a sub to be explicitly marked with the :main modifier makes PIR less magical and surprising and will make it easier to discover how a piece of PIR code works. 
    179  
    180 === Replacement === 
    181  
    182 Pick a sub and mark it with the :main modifier: 
    183 {{{ 
    184 .sub 'start_here' :main 
    185   do_stuff 0, 1, "bananas" 
    186 .end 
    187 }}}
