there are actually two separate and distinct cases.

1) the add6gs example you gave (which is the same as the rwlwinm example)

2) the times where the whole SIMD Signal is defined by the register file
   width (64 bit fixed width)

(2) will come *in* from the definition of the regspecs.

yes the priority is definitely (1) - to be honest we can probably get
away with not having (2) for now and see how it goes.
