It seemed to me that it'll make writing a reader easier, turning


  if (reg == RAX) {
     /* Calculate and set RAX */
  } else if (reg == RBX) {
     /* Set `undefined' */
  } /* ... and so on, for every register */

into

  /* Calculate and set RAX */
  /* Calculate and set RSP */
  /*  ... */
  /* (No need to bother about the rest of the register file) */
