Description

When the type of the registers appears in the name of an operator it has two differing meanings, e.g.

BOOLEAN_CMP_LONG
compare two longs and produce a boolean result

COND_MOVE_LONG
perform a compare (type of operands not specified) and produce a long result

it would be good if we could make this more uniform.
