I like creating the name via algorithm. It leads to predictable names, and easy to understand names. P60DI is obvious to all… P20SI equally is obvious to all. But, if people like the ability to name the mode, certainly adding a parameter for the name is trivial enough to do. > "PTI" and "P128TI" are a bit confusing for the (hacky) powerpc usage, since > 128 bits > isn't partial. Arguably what rs6000 is doing is unholy. I'd welcome someone to find the right solution to their problem and fix it in a better way; the use of partial isn't the right solution.
