PS: Checking my notes, I've previously used the term ``cooked'' to avoid 
confusion with the existing ``pseudo-reg'' framework.  So the above 
would map a ``struct cookedreg'' onto one or more ``struct rawreg'' vis:

The thought of having something like:

struct cookedreg;
int cookedreg2i (struct cookedreg *r) { return r - (struct cookedreg 
*)someaddress; };
et.al.

To get strongly typed integers in C has also crossed my mind.  Outch! :-)
