Perhaps

>sh2+, sh2e+, sh2++ and sh2e++ (or sh2+shift, sh2e+shift+fsqrt,
>sh2+shift+pref and sh2e+double). Of course '+' won't work in C ... hmmm.

When there are only one ot two simple features added, it seems most 
future-proof to
just enumerate them.  I.e. the 'fake1' adds dynamic shift to SH2, 
'fake2' adds dynamic shift and
fsqrt.s to SH2E, 'fake3' adds  dynamic shift and prefetch to  SH2.

'fake4', however, adds dynamic shift, fsqrt.s, prefetch, and a plethora 
of double precision arithmetic
instructions and ancillary instructions to that.  So I think we better 
name that one from the
intersection that generates it, i.e. SH4_SH2A .
You can probably draw this more nicely...
