Well, I'm not sure whether it comforts us a bit, but, at least, this
change makes insn a bit more straightforward. This was a really
strange design choice to use the name of the register and its index
interchangeably.
Also, considering we seriously reduce an amount of crap like "hey,
this argument is optional" and therefore stick to commands being
non-ambiguous, I'd say this choice keeps us in the same route.
