btw, the CBO_foo stuff was named that way as we were using them in
alternatives originally as an argument, that manifested as:
"cbo." __stringify(_op) " (a0)\n\t"
That was later changed to
CBO_##_op(a0)
but the then un-needed (AFAICT) capitalisation was kept to avoid
touching the callsites of the alternative. Maybe you remember better
than I do drew, since the idea was yours & I forgot I even wrote that
pattch.
If this isn't being used in a similar manner, then the w has no reason
to be in the odd lowercase form.

Cheers,
Conor.
