> What if the requirements were very slightly different, and you needed to do something different in the middle of the sequence, like writing a register of a different size or sleeping for a millisecond? Interestingly, I'd argue this is actually a great argument for brittleness in this case.

Although a local macro or better error handling system would also make such things a bit clearer too.
