x86 is the more accurate name, as there are non-Intel x86 implementations. Fixes #263.

Instructions with fixed operands

Some instructions use a fixed register for an operand. This happens on the

- Division instructions use RAX and RDX for both input and output operands.

Aliasing registers
|
||||
Different registers sometimes share the same bits in the register bank.
|
||||
This can make it difficult to measure register pressure. For example, the
|

Intel registers RAX, EAX, AX, AL, and AH overlap.

x86 registers RAX, EAX, AX, AL, and AH overlap.

If only one of the aliasing registers can be used at a time, the aliasing
|

doesn't cause problems since the registers can simply be counted as one
