 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]
