##### 9.4.2.5 NEON Alignment Specifiers

Some NEON load/store instructions allow an optional address alignment qualifier. The ARM documentation specifies that this is indicated by ‘`@ align`’. However GAS already interprets the ‘`@`’ character as a "line comment" start, so ‘`: align`’ is used instead. For example:

                 vld1.8 {q0}, [r0, :128]
