I see your point.  One nice thing about Acme is its rich macro support.  The sooner you use that the easier it will get.  Also have a look at its included library of example macros as well.  One possible use is to make LSB and MSB macros so you can use them as functions in your code, and disambiguate what you're intending to do.  Also, there are a wide range of math (simple, trig and bitwise) operators which can be useful if you're working with constants -- why build a lookup table by hand when you can write a loop to generate it as a macro?
