Might suggest to change the title to specify this is about the Assembly language.

I'm curious if there's another "AT&T syntax" that would be confused with this? I always assumed was a very well-known assembly style.

AT&T: Local Analog Loopback Test

The modem will perform the local analog loopback test if &T1 is selected. The test can be run only when in an asynchronous operation in non-error-correction mode (normal). To terminate the test in progress, the escape sequence must be entered first (see Section 3.1.1). If S18 is non-zero, the test will terminate automatically after the time specified by S18 and the OK result code will be reported.

Is that a syntax? Would anyone be reasonably be confused by it?

I guessed it was about the (Hayes) AT Command Set for modems.

AT vs AT&T phone company and childhood memories.
