That's a good idea. Perhaps I should take that on as part of some cleanup of the MIPS backend in the next stage1. I'm looking to rework how the ISA_HAS logic works so perhaps there would be value in doing this mostly in a header that can also be used for assembly programmers. That would naturally mean we get all the other nice assembly macros available in the backend of GCC too. Thanks, Matthew
