I do actually.  There are lots of times when someone will come up with a
chip variant that really is just a small variant, or a piece of software
that only wants to save the bottom 32 bits of registers and you'd like
to get it across to the tools that there really are only 32-bits in the
registers - even if the chip really has 64 bits.
