Food for thought: maybe we should have variable-encoding lengths for all opcodes, rather than the current cumbersome scheme?
Well, it's not that cumbersome... If you look at CPU encodings, they also tend to have different opcodes for different immediate lengths.
In your case, I'd say it mostly leads to a bit of code duplication. But the opcode space is far from exhausted right now :)
