RE: dm42decode - a command-line decoder tool
This is not really a use case but more about how easy an error can be detected.

What happens if an instruction of the Plus42 is accidentally part of the listing of a Free42 program?
How does Free42 handle such a case?

It happened to me multiple times that an instruction was ignored because it was slightly different from a legal one.
But this was easy to detect because the number of lines did not agree.

However if it was translated into an instruction of the Plus42 I wouldn't notice it.
But I might experience a strange behavior of the calculator that can be hard to debug.

On the other hand if two versions exist, people might mix them up and try to translate a program for the Plus42 with the utilities of the Free42.
