While this looks like a reasonable argument, I also like the naming
choice for these constants in the beginning for that distinction
between registers and bits.  And changing the names the other way
around means there will be a much bigger diffstat, which I would like
to avoid.  I suggest let's just focus on what really matters here -
keep the naming consistent, so that people do not get confused when
they want to add more constants in there.
