two suggestions. first in the parrot asm PDD, codify that (maybe under a
style section). and secondly, since we will be creating a bunch of ops
now and in the near future, we can establish an op name style. shift_l
is ok as is good old add. but what about subtract? pdp-11 used SUB which
already has much meaning in the perl world. :)
