Idea: 2 bits for clamping mode? similar to elwidth:
+
+
* 0b00 default (no clamp)
* 0b01 8 bit (sel: -128/127, us:0/255)
* 0b10 16 bit
if we really do need 2 bits spare then the complex encoder of swizzle could be deployed.
+# note about INT predicate
+
+001 ALWAYS (implicit) Operation is not masked
+
+this means by default that 001 will always be in nonpredicated ops, which seems anomalous. would 000 be better to indicate "no predication"?
