   'cus cgen rtl is based on gcc rtl and I like having the types be the
   same in the emitted code as in the rtl.

I think Andrew was asking why the rtl uses these names.  Using other names
for the modes would not preclude the use of an rtl, it just wouldn't look
like GCC's.  Is that a bad thing, given that it would allow the programmer
to be more explicit about data representation on the target side?
