you have a habit from lack of experience in proposing assembler
mnemonics that are far too long.  people used to computing from
the 1980s and 1990s consider CPU time to be precious. russian
assembler writers of the time were amongst some of the best in
the world, out of necessity: due to the berlin wall, large
capacity memory and high end cpus were impossible to obtain.

hard no on 6 letter mnemonics when 2-4 will do.
