@cindex RTL format
-For each expression type @file{rtl.def} specifies the number of
-contained objects and their kinds, with four possibilities: @samp{e} for
-expression (actually a pointer to an expression), @samp{i} for integer,
-@samp{w} for wide integer, @samp{s} for string, and @samp{E} for vector
-of expressions. The sequence of letters for an expression code is
-called its @dfn{format}. For example, the format of @code{subreg} is
-@samp{ei}.
