through an ISA revision. The opcode proliferation, at O(N^6), inexorably
spirals out of control in the ISA, detrimentally impacting the hardware,
the software, the compilers and the testing and compliance. Here are
-the typical dimensions that result in such massive proliferation:

* Operation (add, mul)
* bitwidth (8, 16, 32, 64, 128)
