BTW I noticed the following while researching and working on this
T4 stuff:

Note that there are no subtract equivalents being added of these new
add-with-carry instructions.

I have also meanwhile spoken to some sparc chip folks and they made it
clear that they consider having not added subxccc a mistake and a bug
just like we do, and they will rectify this in a future cpu.

Anyways, just FYI...
