   Reading Ray Seyfarth - x86/Yasm assembly language. In it he uses the following   
      
   segment .data:   
       a dq 175   
      
   segment .text   
   global main   
   main:   
       mov rax, [a]   ; to store the value of 'a' in rax   
      
   Thus leading to the conclusion [] acts as a de-reference operator.   
      
   But then he does:   
      
       mov [a], rax; which ought to mean he's storing a value in the value-of-a.   
   Therefore [a] is a pointer in this case? Is that so or is he storing in 'a'   
   somehow - slings and arrows of outrageous syntax?
