My concerns are largely:
1) An API that's straight forward to use
2) Something that'll work with future changes
The "allow these opcodes" is straightforward, and ditto for the register
opcodes. The fixed file I guess is the odd one out. So if we need to
disallow things in the future, we'll need to add a new restriction
sub-op. Should this perhaps be "these flags must be set", and that could
easily be augmented with "these flags must not be set"?
