I changed that.  But it still feels a little odd and sometimes difficult
that the macro works as:

  RegisterOrConstant regcon_sll_ptr(RegisterOrConstant dest, RegisterOrConstant src, Register temp = noreg);

I'd actually like it more this way:

  void regcon_sll_ptr(RegisterOrConstant s1, RegisterOrConstant s2, RegisterOrConstant d);

It's gone.
