------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
None of the assemblers I've ever used have behaved in that way, and I've used
at least a handful of different Z80 assemblers. If this was ever the case, it
would probably have been a platform-specific thing, that should perhaps be
considered as a command-line option in the future (if so, it's a good reason to
add the pseudo-op, though.) I don't believe it should ever be default, though.

Summary: Add DEFM for Zilog compatibility
Original Submission: Zilog assemblers use DEFB for byte values and DEFM for
strings. z80asm already supports mixing and matching these the way x86
assemblers do, this is a good thing. This patch simply makes DEFM/DM an alias
for DEFB/DB.

I remember defm from somewhere, but I thought it was supposed to set the 7th
bit of the last byte?
