Ah!  In that case could I strongly encourage people to drop the terms 
``new'' and ``traditional'' and, instead, give it a name?  Hmm, 
NewTraditional64 (nt64) is probably not a good choice :-)

Is it safe for me to assume that a mips64-elf toolchain isn't suddenly 
going to start producing this as output?
