The plan is to make the regular variants (like 'add') create a new

Does this include n_not , n_bnot, and n_bnots ?
Yes. The 'not', 'abs', 'bnot', and 'bnots' opcodes already have
2-argument variants, the 'n_*' alternates are unnecessary.
The task also involves modifying the corresponding vtable functions
('logical_not', 'absolute', 'binary_not', 'binary_nots') so they return
a new PMC, rather than morphing the existing destination PMC. (Many of
them already do this, so the 'n_*' variants were actually already doing
the same thing as the regular opcodes.)
