    While this is true, Microchip's assemblers have always allowed you to just
    imply the ",1" and use ",W" instead of ",0".  To use the same example:

        INCF    REG         ;Takes the value in REG, increments it, and stores
                            ;the result back in REG.

        INCF    REG,W       ;Takes the value in REG, increments it, and stores
                            ;the result in W, leaving REG unchanged.

    Code written without the ",0" and ",1" suffixes is, in my opinion, MUCH
    easier to read.
