ooo, i like it, and it's exactly the kind of fascinating thing
that "emerges" like this.

1. practical detail: 4-operand is barely enough room to fit, takes up
   26 bits on its own, is a 5/6-bit XO. if the imm is 1 bit that's 2of
   5-bit XOs. costly! has to be *really* worth it which...

2. ... are there any other uses? other common compression algorithms?
