   ^ flip the LSB for all of the 3R instructions there, it seemed to be a   
   screw up when coming up with my listing...   
      
   But, these were the newest and most uncertain addition, as they use a   
   big chunk of encoding space and aren't great for hit rate due to Reg3   
   and similar.

   Granted, more testing could be done.   
      
   This partly came up as another possibility for a "compressed" XG3, which   
   basically just trades the space used for predicated ops back for 16-bit ops.   
      
   But, alas, RV-C doesn't hold up as well if you try to trim it down to   
   2/3 the encoding space.
