After looking at the strings I've got impression that they contaions
letters and numbers to represent position in the insn and when I sort
them alphabetically I get exactly the order recog uses to match constraints.
In the situation I am shooting for, one string is longer, because it's tree
is deeper and second is "almost prefix" except it is one branch later.
I think we can use strlen comparison as well, but strcmp seems to be more
clear to me to represent that I need to syncronize.
