simoncook added a comment.

For added context, I have gone and double-checked with GCC's implementation 
both for AArch64 and RISC-V and for registers used by the calling convention 
the compiler will still use them for argument passing and return values, but 
otherwise won't use it for any temporaries/register allocation purposes, which 
does have the side effect of confusing behaviour unless carefully documented.

I can implement errors for using calling convention registers when there are 
functions that take arguments, but this would be an explicit deviation in 
behaviour between the two compilers. I presume we would want to do that anyway 
because it's safer/more clear?
