Description Sean Cavanaugh 2012-05-05 00:16:11 UTC 
Several of the enums in core/simd.d are not named after real opcodes so translating documentation from the intel processor manual is a bit confusing.

For example: LODSS and STOSS are really forms of MOVSS.

Are the arguments switched for either of these vs the MOVSS?   This needs to be noted.
