Can we have namespaces for mnemonics? Something like vec.gather

you can have arbitrarily complex assembly language when you define a new architecture. You'll have an easier time fitting into existing assemblers if you are able to accept gas-like directives at least.

So yeah - just create your mnemonics for your new architecture that happened to be prefixed by the instruction class/domain.
