While the small size is remarkable, there is much work to be done before some other project might be willing to use or adapt this code.

Looking at the current HEAD 9fd3a26 at Tue Jun 7 10:14:56 2022 +0700, in file lzmadec.x86_64.asm there are many many bare literal integer constants that do not have symbolic names. In contrast, the reference implementation by Igor Pavlov in LZMA SDK 4.40 and successors uses dozens of symbolic names with designated inter-relationships. This makes it hard to compare the two versions. Also, the micro-lzmadec code lacks documentation of strategy, explanation of coding tricks, and comments in general. Which specializations of parameter values has micro-lzmadec assumed? What relationships do the numeric constants in micro-lzmadec have to each other? If it becomes necessary or desirable to change one value, then how are the others affected?
