Between the comment and the return type?
Yes.
There are a lot of register number definitions in the tm.h files that
would best go into define_constants. So there is not really an extra
namespace pollutions, since definitions in tm.h are very visible, too.
Exporting the defines without a prefix makes it viable to do these
defines just once.
My concern is about the potiential for, for example, define a constant
named PLUS, which conflicts with an RTL name. It's just too easy
to make that sort of mistake.
If you think there is also a good application for names that are less
visible, it is simple to add code to have an optional prefix, i.e.
Why make this user-changable?
