RISC-V asm instruction name madness

Sorry, but isn’t it trivial to rename all the instructions and then just have a transpiler? There you go.

Sure, you can always solve problems by adding indirection. But sometimes you want to debate an effective design of this layer - in this case the assembly language.

Famously you can solve all problems that way, except the problem of having too many layers of indirection.

Well, you could mostly solve it by having a compiler target whatever level of indirection required. No need to chain through them all.
