   "kinda stupid" given it is "very much not a 3R instruction", but, ...).   
      
      
      
   At least in most other instructions, the imm/disp bits remain   
   contiguous. I instead differed by making the Rn/Rd spot be used as a   
   source register by some instructions (taking on the role of Rt/Rs2), but   
   IMO this is the lesser of two evils. Would rather have an Rd that is   
   sometimes a source, than imm/disp fields that change chaotically from   
   one instruction to another.
